'Interactive logon: Machine account lockout threshold' on Windows hosts (at
least Windows 8.1).
The setting allows to set a threshold for the number of failed logon attempts
that causes the device to be locked by using BitLocker. This means, if the
specified maximum number of failed logon attempts is exceeded, the device will
invalidate the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) protector and any other protector
except the 48-digit recovery password, and then reboot. During Device Lockout
mode, the computer or device only boots into the touch-enabled Windows Recovery
Environment (WinRE) until an authorized user enters the recovery password to
restore full access.
Failed password attempts on workstations or member servers that have been locked
by using either Ctrl+Alt+Delete or password-protected screen savers count as
failed logon attempts.");
