How to hide the "Forgot My Password" option in the user site when account is locked for version 5.6.1?
Description
When a user, having his account locked, logs into Password Manager, the page displays (2) options:
1. Forgot My Password
2. Unlock My Account
If the user selects Forgot my password the following message is received after having answered questions and entering a new password:
Failed to reset your password
Since a locked account must first be unlocked before selecting Forgot My Password is it possible to hide the option until the account is unlocked?
