There is a way, however. If it is important that the user be able to log on immediately, you can turn logon journaling off and then back on (SET JOURNAL command.) This will wipe out any current journal counts for everybody and start counting from 0.

Here is ours: Journaling , Facility On , Set_and_Query Off , Logon , Lockout after 10 attempts for 60 minutes , Account after 0 attempts , Message after 10 attempts to OPERATOR , VM_Logo after 5 attempts , Link , Account after 0 attempts , Message after 0 attempts to Operator , Disable after 10 attempts Once a user has reached the logon lockout limit, I know of no way to reset the user. They must not attempt to logon for 60 minutes, or else the timer starts again.
