Can't login Admin CP

[TJsDJs]

I recently did an install of vb3.8. I installed and it locked me out for some reason, so i had my site backup reloaded a few days prior to upgrade.

I had someone else do the upgrade for me. It was installed properly and worked fine. All the sudden it locked me out again. I'm logged in to the forums as myself, but can't login to the Admin CP.

My forum members are having the same issues am i with not being able to login. Can anybody help or give some advice?

What happens when you try to login to the ACP, what is the message?

I get the following message:

Wrong username or password. You have used up your failed login quota! Please wait 15 minutes before trying again. Don't forget that the password is case sensitive. Forgotten your password? Click here!

Has anybody had this problem with the forums locking out members. They can't login at all...can't reset the passwords either.

To troubleshoot this, please remove any hacks and disable your plugins, then see if you still have this problem.
Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit config.php and add this line right under <?php

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

If so, reupload all the original vB non-image files (except install.php). Make sure you upload these in ASCII format and overwrite the ones on the server.

Please upload tools.php from the 'do_not_upload' folder of your vBulletin distribution to your admincp directory. Now point your browser to admincp/tools.php.

Reset the cookie Domain and Path to the default values.
Once your problem is fixed please remove tools.php again from the server.
If this does not solve your problems, please clear your browser cookies and cache, restart your browser and try again.

If your problem still exists, please create a new Style with no Parent set. Now browse the forum using this new style, do you still have the same problems? If you are troubleshooting login or guest issues, you will need to set this style as board default in the vBulletin Options.
