List View Threshold Error

Problem: We have couple of document folders in SharePoint 2007 environment  with couple of Views. We migrated to SharePoint 2010 and when Users try to click the views pertaining to them they were getting “An error has occurred.  The attempted operation is prohibited because it exceeds the list view threshold enforced by the administrator”

Resolution:
1. Navigate to Central Administration.
2. Go to Application Management > Manage Web Application and click on your web application to select it.
3. In the Ribbon, click on General Settings drop-down and choose “Resource Throttling”.
4. In the “List View Threshold”, increase the value (by a factor of 2)) and click OK.
5. If the error persists, increase the value again until the error goes away.

Like to share the resolution so it might be useful for someone.
