Can't Login?

My forum link is: http://lockerz.myfreeforum.org/index.php

I have had a short break from the forum recently, but now that I've 'come back', I cannot login. I get the following error:



I know that my password (and obviously username) are correct and yet keep getting that. I've even attempted to change my password just in case, but still no luck. Somebody else had the same problem, too. It was fine before, so I'm really not sure what's happened. I'd be grateful for any help you could give me. As I said, I haven't changed anything from the time when it was working.

If you are the owner you can reset the admin account from the control panel.

I am and I've reset the admin account password, which enabled me to login. However, when I attempt to login to the administrator control panel, I get that error again. I'm definitely using the right password?!

Ugh. What's going wrong?

Try clearing cookies, as of the overnight forum status check "Zed" was an admin on the forum.

- Anyway, I can still log in to my forum, but just not into the admin panel, even though I'm using the same password?!

Oh sorry, I thought you was talking about the forum not the ACP.
Zed

Just to clear it up; I've deleted cookies, cleared cache, changed password, re-opened website etc but still no luck. I can login to my account but CANNOT login to the admin panel??
admin (no pm's please)

I am seeing the login attempts exceeded message currently.

Can your fellow admin help?

I'll check, but I'm pretty sure he had the same problem actually. I haven't been on the forum in a few days for various reasons, but he did mention something to me about being unable to login. I didn't worry about it at the time, figuring it would sort it self out.
As I said though, this was a few days ago, so I'll ask him to try now, but I doubt he'll be able to.

And yes, I'm getting the login attempts exceeded message now, so can't try anything else for now.

If this is a problem for anyone accessing the admin panel, then maybe the template is broken? Reset it to subSilver in the control panel.
OopsTVForum

I am the fellow admin. I cannot even log into the forum let alone ACP, after completing what I'd assume to be all the necessary actions.
Zed

Won't update when I reset it to Subsilver in Control Panel? Nothing happens?
admin (no pm's please)

I see the forum on subSilver. There may be a delay in the control panel on that one.
Zed

Worked on Subsilver and I logged into admin panel, when I tried switching template back, I started getting the error again.

Does this mean the whole template is broken beyond repair?
admin (no pm's please)

Since you can edit any template how you see fit, then no template is "beyond" repair.

I am at a loss as to what might be wrong though  
Zed

Yes, but I've got no idea what needs fixing/editing.

Still, thanks very much for all your help anyway, admin.
