  Hi there,

  Every time I go to log on I cant because recently I’ve been getting the error message:

  ERROR: Too many failed login attempts. Please try again in 5 hours.

  It’s not me trying to sign-in nor anyone that works with me, it’s someone else. How do I stop this?!

  Thanks,

  Saskia

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