I created a thread a couple of weeks ago (http://community.mybb.com/thread-80903-p...#pid590543)

The same problem has arisen again. I have reset the password but that didn't work. Any help would be appreciated!

Try running this query in phpMyAdmin:

UPDATE `mybb_adminoptions` SET `loginattempts` = '0', `loginlockoutexpiry` = '0' WHERE `uid` = '1';

Change the 1 to your UID if it's not 1.
I fixed it. I changed the "Max Number of Login Attempts" in the "Control Panel Preferences (Global)" to a number other than 0 (I had it on "0" to disable it but it obviously didn't work)

If that's true this is a bug and should be tested and fixed.
Yep I can reproduce.
