After some search on the internet, I found that due to security reasons Magento has introduced account disabled functionality with considering the security of the business.

Here is how you can unlock and Go to your Magento root folder via SSH/PUTTY

Then Run following command

php bin/magento admin:user:unlock ADMINUSERNAME

Or jump into bin directory from Magento root: cd bin/

and then run the command

php magento admin:user:unlock ADMINUSERNAME
