  I haven’t even tried to log into my dashboard and the first time I did in a few days I got this message…

  You have been locked out due to too many invalid login attempts.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi,

  Can you confirm which site you have been trying to log in to?

  Once I know, I’ll take a look for you.

  Hi,

  chriskratzer.com is a self hosted WordPress.org site, so there isn’t a great deal we can do to help you gain access. However, I would recommend checking to see if you have any security plugins installed that could be limiting the number of login attempts. An example of such a plugin would be iThemes Security. You could try deleting it via FTP and then resetting your password.

  These forums provide support for WordPress.com sites but support is available for WordPress.org sites on these forums:

  Come back to me if you have any questions.
