Reduce the account lock time on failing for 3 times #170

So, 10 mins is kinda too long to wait to be able to unlock the account. Is there a way to reduce this period?

@PlankCipher I'm a lurker on a lot of github sites, but I saw this and I thought I could help. If you haven't figured this out yet the lockout isn't controlled by this application but by PAM. So you will need to configure your password lockout policy.
