If you log in as root and go into smitty you can reset the failed logins or unlock an account. I was under the impression that it reset "failed logins" once you logged in successfully. Type smitty then select Security and Users then Users.

SYNOPSIS
pam_lastlog.so [debug] [silent] [never] [nodate] [nohost] [noterm] [nowtmp] [noupdate] [showfailed]
DESCRIPTION
pam_lastlog is a PAM module to display a line of information about the last login of the user. In addition, the module maintains the
/var/log/lastlog file.
Some applications may perform this function themselves. In such cases, this module is not necessary.
OPTIONS

silent
Don't inform the user about any previous login, just update the /var/log/lastlog file.
never
If the /var/log/lastlog file does not contain any old entries for the user, indicate that the user has never previously logged in with
a welcome message.
nodate
Don't display the date of the last login.
noterm
Don't display the terminal name on which the last login was attempted.
nohost
Don't indicate from which host the last login was attempted.
nowtmp
Don't update the wtmp entry.
noupdate
Don't update any file.
showfailed
Display number of failed login attempts and the date of the last failed attempt from btmp. The date is not displayed when nodate is
specified.
MODULE TYPES PROVIDED
Only the session module type is provided.
RETURN VALUES
PAM_SUCCESS
Everything was successful.
PAM_SERVICE_ERR
Internal service module error.
PAM_USER_UNKNOWN
User not known.
EXAMPLES
Add the following line to /etc/pam.d/login to display the last login time of an user:
session required pam_lastlog.so nowtmp

/var/log/lastlog
Lastlog logging file
