  • I have the same problem. What should I do now.

    hi, i got kind of the same problem : i receive lot of emails to notice me that the user is lock out because of to many bad attempt.
    the problem is i got only one user and i can’t go on my back office anymore.
    My user is not “admin”, and in phpmyadmin, i saw more than 60 brute force lock in “wp_itsec_lockouts” but no ip !
    > What should i do ?
    > I already start to configure the plugin, is it dangerous to delete it from my ftp ?

    Thanks !

    I have the same issue – seems like a script is hitting the site under a brute force attack, so IT Themes is doing its job, but I can’t get into the site now.

    I’ve tried removing the lockout in PHP MyAdmin but as soon as I release it the script hits again and locks out before I can get back in.

    Is there any way I can remove this brute force process from the site, remove the plugin, or add another admin user in PHP safely to get in to administer the site while the attack is going on?

    Thanks

    I finally went in to phpmyadmin and changed the username of my account. I was able to login after that. I learned a leasson. The username I had started with is all over the Internet for various things. After I changed the username to something less obvious I stopped getting the brute force username lockout.
