On my forum I locked out myself and it says:
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.
And I doesnt got any mails. And my friend doesnt get the confirmation mail.
please see few of
search results
if you need direct help then you may PM me your
web host panel access
and you can change your login credentials later
Still stuck. Doesnt work everything.
^ as you have a fresh forum [and you are not comfortable in providing required temporary access] ,
may be its better to install the forum again ..
