LiquidFractal Posted October 1, 2021 Posted October 1, 2021 (edited) I've been locked out of my test installation, which is strange because I'm sure that I had the right password saved in my browser but after the very first login attempt I get a message that I've been locked out and try again in 14 mins. This doesn't seem to expire. Is there a way to tweak a value or something on the file or SQL level to reset this so I can at least verify/change the password? Thanks! EDIT: problem solved Edited October 1, 2021 by LiquidFractal problem solved
Marc Posted October 4, 2021 Posted October 4, 2021 Would you mind letting us know the solution to your issue there? Just as there may well be others with the same issue as yourself 🙂 Miss_B 1
Solution LiquidFractal Posted October 5, 2021 Author Solution Posted October 5, 2021 Well, it's a bit of an exotic issue...I think it was in fact a browser/caching issue or something to do with what I'm currently troubleshooting, which involves https: connections. So I had edited conf_global to toggle SSL on/off and it did weird things to my login, and then when I switched it back my browser (Edge) wasn't playing nice. So I switched to another browser and that seemed to clear things up. So, long story short - let sleeping conf_global.php's lie. 😉 Marc 1
Marc Posted October 6, 2021 Posted October 6, 2021 Glad you managed to get it sorted out in any case 🙂 Gotta love browser caching at times. LiquidFractal 1

Yep...and in my experience Microsoft Edge is one of the worst - I think it even cached server-side redirects after I had reverted them. 😑

Every time I say one browser is the worst, its like another tries to compete to break things faster LiquidFractal and Mark H 2
