User locked for 10 minutes - how to unlock?

My password seems to be pretty secure, at least based on the ratio of how ofen I get locked out of my machine because I do not manage to correctly type in the password within the allowed three tries. After that linux locks the user for 10 minutes before another try is allowed. This can be annoying, but the solution is simple - as long as there is another user with root privileges to fall back to:

faillock --user $user --reset

This will reset the failed login attempts for $user.
