How about it just logs the times and dates and sends out a digest post once a week?

In applications my company develops we have the main (call it administrator) account. And if this gets locked we have one account (call it security account) that can do nothing BUT unlocking accounts. It could ( as an example of this forum) not make any posts etc.
This way the Admin accounts gets locked on three attempts for example an a security account needs to be used to unlock it. Now naturally the security account must not get locked so (in my companies case) in order to log in to the security account you must have the password of the security account plus the password of the main administrator account; this should make it very hard to get by.
Well just my two cents.

Thanks michael I think that is probally the simplest to implement and best idea yet for this type of security on the admin account.

I'll look into implementing something like this that can be used to setup such an account in the admin area.
