Does "Forgot Password" reset an account lockout?

I am having trouble finding a clear answer to this question. If one of my customers has failed to log in to a portal, and triggered a lockout on their account, can they reset the timer on the lockout by using the Forgot Password/Password Reset feature? When I've tested, I can reset my password but then my account is still locked out.

The description from this website makes it sound like resetting my password should also reset the lockout. Is that correct?

Navigate to Portal Management > Forms.
Enable the password reset feature for your portal, which will allow users to reset their passwords after being locked out due to failed attempts.
Configure the flow for email verification and password recovery, ensuring that users can regain access quickly without having to contact support.

What is the identity provider that you have setup in the system?

If you are using Entra External ID, for example, it would naturally reset the user when they get to lockout after a few hours (I think the default is 2 hours)
