You will need to close your internet web browser, then open a new internet web browser and log in using your user ID and password. It is also a good idea to delete your browsing history or clear your cache on your internet browser. These options should resolve the issue of locking you out of the system. This error does not indicate that your user ID is locked out and needs to be unlocked in our system.

If you cannot login and need assistance, please contact your licensing board or program.
