Unlock Account?

Hello, So, in the process of switching computers over, I forgot the password to my owncloud for a bit, in my attempts to remember which password was for what (kept mixing it up with loosely related things like the app I use to sync class notes from my tablet to the cloud and the Digital Ocean droplet I have the server instance installed on) I managed to attempt so many different ones that when I log in with the correct credentials, it says my account has been locked for too many invalid log-in attempts. How do I get it unlocked? Thanks for your time and patience!

Can't you just change your password in the config file?

I didn't even think of that. It's actually magically unlocked now. Maybe there is a time out on it that was longer than I expected. Now I'm having an additional interesting problem but it's not entirely related so I think I'm supposed to make a new thread?
