Be careful here. There is a new feature in Oracle 11 concerning failed logins.
MOS is not responding right now but
http://askdba.org/weblog/2012/01/11g-multiple-failed-login-attempt-can-block-new-application-connections/
explains it adequately. It can be a real pain. There is a patch to turn
off the behavior.
I think the number is 13696216, but I cannot verify that now.

Hi
You could also change the profile being used to allow unlimited
failed_login_attempts, to stop what is in effect a denial of service
situation.
