I read all I could find here on the forums, but don't really understand, being a real newbie to this website stuff and drupal. This is my first website.
Here's what happened:
I logged out of my site and logged in again as my emergency user account. That worked fine. So I logged out, and tried logging back in with my superuser account. It said my password was invalid. Strange, but thinking I typed it wrong, I tried again. Same result. tried again. Tried my other password. still wrong.
When I received the message: Sorry, there have been more than 5....
I waited for over 30 minutes, and tried to access the site again, but got the same error message.
Waited for about 10 minutes, but logged in with my emergency user to check my password. Logged out. Tried again. Same message, so used the "send new password" got my email, used the link and was in! Thought this was all and good, BUT a few minutes later, I logged out to check that I had set up the email system properly and created a new user. After I had checked the email, and verified that it was working, I logged out of that user account and tried logging back in with my superuser account.
Again I was greeted with that message: Sorry, there have been more than 5 ...
I came to the forum here and searched the error, but could not for the life of me understand what it was talking about.
