Can Not Log into AdminCP

[mjfhal12]

I am having this problem when logging in my admincp:

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!

I am pulling my hair out. I have requested new password many times. I have changed my password with the supplied link. I have cleared my cookies and cache. I have been successful twice but the next time I try to access the admincp I get the same error again.

Can someone here help?

PS. The last time I was in I ran diagnostics twice and repaired tables and had no errors.

This all started when I installed ibProArcade 2.6.5+. I have since un-installed everything and reverted all the templates changed before I did the last diagnostic.

Thanks for your help.

I still do not know what happened, but I used Tools.PHP to restore admin access (I did remember to remove the tools.php file when finshed)

Interesting addition to this story though; I had a trusted friend and member of the site try the same admin login and password from there location. They were able to log in and out but we were still not able to until I ran tools.php Maybe an IP lock out?

If anyone wants to reply with a possible reason for this happening I would really appreciate it.

Thank You
