Board not upgraded after update

[Wires]

When you say unable to login, is there an error message that appears or does that page just appear to reload itself?

[.m.]

once again try this SQL query to change your password

UPDATE mybb_users SET password = 'actualRequiredPassword', salt = '' WHERE uid = '1';

It reloads itself until I get the capcha code and then after another failed attempt I get a message that I have to wait 15 min before I can try again.

I get this message after a few failed logins:

You have failed to login within the required number of attempts. You must now wait 0h 15m 0s before you can login again.

That worked.  Thanks.
