Windows 10: How To Change Lockout Threshold?

I’ve been having troubles to login due to having to wait 2 hours after many attempts to login my cats were playing on my keyboard when i was asleep, and I’m trying to reset the lockout threshold. I reset my laptop to try to login but still the same. I saw a lot of people suggesting to search on Windows search secpol.msc but I couldn’t find it on mine, i don’t know why. Anybody can help me to find another way to reset it?
