Can't log into phpbb Adminstration Control Panel

[Jay K]

I cannot log into my administration control panel with the user name and password that was given to me for my phpbb forum. I was able to log in just the other day with the same username and password but when i log in now it says:

You exceeded the maximum allowed number of login attempts. In addition to your username and password you now also have to enter the confirm code from the image you see below.

Is there anyway that i can reset my password so that it will allow me to log in again?

Thanks

It seems you are trying to login incorrectly...use the password retrieval feature.

phpbb also has a strike system, after so many failed login attempts you are blocked from the system for a period of time specified in the settings. If I remember correctly the default is 15 minutes (I could be wrong)
