Why can´t I log in?

[DALTORPS]

Hello.

For a couple of days whn I have been trying to log in with my temporary password, wich is less the 7 days old, and with the question correctly answered the computor says that I have tried to log in to many times even if it was the first time I tried. Why

Best regards

Have you tried clearing cookies?

Thank you...I will try it.

Thank you...I will try it.

Another technique is to try another browser... say Chrome or IE (if you don't normally use them). If you keep the spare browser clear of cookies and it works, then it points to a cookie problem on your normal browser.

Hi.

Now I had tested everything and just doesn´t work. What should I do?
Start all over again with a new acount??

You seem to have triggered the anti-password-cracking feature. The error will clear out after a while, provided that you don't try to log in (how long this lasts I do not know; you may have some luck Googling for MediaWiki's password protection scheme).

The simple solution is just to create a new account, and check back periodically (as in, a few weeks). I would unblock you, but I do not know how...

I also have this problem, but only at work. I wait a few weeks, and try it again, and it does the same thing. I have tried clearing cookies to no avail. If I want to spend some time tagging, I have to bring my laptop from home, which doesn't have that problem. This has been going on for months . . . .
