How do I reset password retry count for a user in the gpu using C#

Question

Hi,

I'm using this piece of code :

// create a "principal context" - e.g. your domain (could be machine, too)
PrincipalContext pc = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain, "YOURDOMAIN");

// validate the credentials
bool isValid = pc.ValidateCredentials("myuser", "mypassword")

to check for user passwords in the GPU. But I heard that it increment there password retry count and I would not like that to happen. How can I reset there retry password count?

Thanks.

Would'nt that brake the security? The only way to reset the retry count should be to reset the password or log in with a correct password.
