It works. Do the following:

gradm -E
gradm -D
enter invalid password
gradm -D
enter invalid password
gradm -D
enter invalid password
now you'll see a message in your logs that authentication was locked
gradm -D
enter valid password
the system won't disable, the password will be rejected
wait 30 seconds
gradm -D
enter valid password
ACL system will successfully disable
