This will either disable the user from logging into the system or enable them to.

you can manually do this using a text editor like vi editing the /etc/shadows by placing the ! before their password hash. This method is more safer for you though.

Code:

#locks a user name

passwd -l username

Code:

#unlocks the user name

passwd -u username
