This account has been locked out.
Your account is currently locked out after failing to login 5 times. You have been sent an email with instructions on how to unlock your account.
you can try
password reset through database queries. see
common sql queries guidance
assuming that your
user ID is
1, you can use query like below
UPDATE `mybb_users` SET `password` = 'YourNewPassword', `salt` = '' WHERE `uid` = '1'

Are passwords not stored encrypted? ..
If you store a new pasword inthere without it has been encrypted first ... Will the decryption scripts don't get stuck on it when logging in a user?

Well not actually till we fill out the salt thing, mybb passwords are encrypted through salt.
As for OP's problem i guess he don't even know where is he hosting his forum(if you can share your forum ulr maybe i'll be able to identify if its a cpanel or something else), the only thing you can do is open up your host's Panel either on cPanel you can do that via phpmyadmin or if you are on a VPS then login via SSH and perform the query on your mybb database.
