locked out of test installation

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

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. 😉

Glad you managed to get it sorted out in any case 🙂 Gotta love browser caching at times.

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. 😑

I shall refrain from comment. Every time I say one browser is the worst, its like another tries to compete to break things faster
