I reported this lack of documentation on http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=330359

Here is my test case (take care, it will create a new db!) :

SQL> startup force quiet nomount;
ORACLE instance started.
SQL> create database controlfile reuse extent management
local default tablespace users default temporary tablespace temp
undo tablespace undotbs1;

Database created.
SQL> @?/rdbms/admin/catalog
SQL> @?/rdbms/admin/catproc
SQL> col username for a10
SQL> col PROFILE for a7
SQL> col LIMIT for a12
SQL> select username, profile, limit from dba_users join 
dba_profiles using (profile) 
where resource_name='FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS';
USERNAME   PROFILE LIMIT 
---------- ------- ------------ 
SYSTEM     DEFAULT 10
SYS        DEFAULT 10
TSMSYS     DEFAULT 10
DIP        DEFAULT 10
DBSNMP     DEFAULT 10
OUTLN      DEFAULT 10

I just noticed FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS now defaults to 10 in 10gR2. Not found in the doc. I will report it tomorrow in the documentation feedback on otn
