I want to know if there's a way to prevent an account from every being locked out no matter how many times a password is entered incorrectly. I know this is not a good security practice, but that is not the point of the question :)

Additionally, is there a way to change the number of failed attempts before the account is locked out. Note, I only want to do this for one local user account, not all of them.

Thanks in advance for any advice you can give!

You can configure this via Local Security Settings. AFAIK, this applies to all users and can't be applied to only one user. Also, if this computer is a member of a domain, these settings may be set via a domain GPO, which would over-ride the local setting.
