Byron Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Brute force was showing this for your account: 30 failed login attempts to account nahawi (system) -- Large number of attempts from this IP: 78.183.74.34 That's from your ip. Okay you should be able to login again. If you have any problems post back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krydos Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 The most common reason for brute force protection like that from your own IP address is if you save a password in an FTP client or some other client that logs into your account and then change your password without updating the FTP client. Most FTP clients are pretty dumb and will just try over and over with the wrong password until your account is locked down. I don't see any brute force protection on your account currently so you should be good for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
