User account lockout

[Stu]

Is it possible to lock an account down, after a number of attempts to crack
a password?

I'm just using xp pro on a standalone pc, with no networking involved.

Hi,

Right click my computer and left click on manage
Expand local users and groups on the left hand side
Click on users
On the right hand panes you will see your user account name
Doubble click on this and you will see an option for a lock out
