Is there an easy way of changing the Maximum No of Invalid Attempts for my DNN 5 site?

I’m hoping this value is retreated from a table somewhere, but I can’t find it! I tried stepping through the code and found the object that contains the value, but i could find where it set the property... "DotNetNuke.Security.Membership.MembershipProviderConfig.MaxInvalidPasswordAttempts"

Any insight would be appreciated!

When using the default ASPNetSqlMembershipProvider, this can only be changed by editing the ASPNetSqlMembershipProvider node of the <providers> section of your site's web.config file. For example, to change the number of attempts from the default of 5 to 10, add the following attribute to the node:

passwordAttemptThreshold="10"

then resave the file.
