You have to download latest PAM version. Otherwise you can write crontab for unlocking after 30 minutes by seeing faillog output.
Ex: using awk and crontab you can do this
faillog | grep -v Username | awk '$2>5{system("printf "$1":"$2":; date +%s -d \""$5" "$6" "$7"\"")}' | \
awk -F: '1800 < (systime()-$3){print $1; print "User "$1" no longer locked-out: "strftime("%D-%H:%M:%S") >> "/var/log/faillog
clear"}' | \
xargs -i faillog -u {} -r
Let me know if it helps for you.

Thanks Joe, but as per documents, deny and unlock_time are auth options, not thee account options. When I changed the config as you mentioned:account required pam_tally.so deny=2
the error "unknown option deny" stopped coming but it didn't make any difference in the time it waits after wrong passwd, even if I make it 20. The version, I can't change because of some dependency reasons.
