Repeated Login Failure
Even though I successfully activated my account I am disallowed from logging in, being told that I exceeded login attempts (not surprising since it seemed not to recognize my acct from the outset) and must now log in w/ a captcha. When I do this I'm told once again that I exceeded # attempts and must log in w/ a captcha.
Rinse and repeat.
How do I get past this seemingly endless loop, please?

Re: Repeated Login Failure
There is no entry in the user list for a peedee28 although there is one for peedee27. Have you tried logging in with that ID?

Re: Repeated Login Failure
Yes, I tried to log in as "peedee27", but I was told that peedee27 was in use so I couldn't log in w/ that name. Whatever... So I used "peedee28". The only reason I had been peedee27at all was because my attempt to create an account w/ "peedee" went through, sorta, and then got wedged. The system considers "peedee" in use, although it seems not to recognize its password, despite its having commended me on the use of a strong password as I strove to set up my "peedee" account.
That's when I created another account, peedee27, for which effort I was sent an activation e-mail, only to get wedged a bit further down the line, hence, my previous post.

Re: Repeated Login Failure
I'll do a forced reactivation on peedee27 so watch for the email.

Re: Repeated Login Failure
I rec'd the activation e-mail, which told me that my account was all set, but still I couldn't log in. Hmmm, maybe I had the password wrong so clicked the link for forgotten pwd. When I supplied my e-mail address I was told:
The e-mail/username information submitted could not be found.
It's certainly the correct e-mail address; you just used it to send me an activation link.
BTW, the prompt didn't even ask for a username, just an e-mail address.
Thanks for your continued help.

Re: Repeated Login Failure
My mistake [sic]. I didn't read pwd reset prompt correctly. I'm attempting it the correct way now. I'll let you know how I fare.

Re: Repeated Login Failure
Try logging on using the 27 name and the password xxxxxxxxxxxxxx and then, if successful, immediately change the password.

Re: Repeated Login Failure
I can log in. At least at this time.
I went to User Control Panel, but can find no place to change pwd. Where ought I to look?

Re: Repeated Login Failure
I'm all set. I can log in 'n' everythin'.
I am sorry for the endless back-and-forth. But if these exchanges were to accomplish nothing else, yet they would serve to demonstrate the promptness of the moderators/cognescenti in helping me, and by induction, others, to get it sorted out straightaway. You folks are terrific.
Thanks,
