If not already expired out, you could restart memcached (if using memcache) or clear out the objectcache table; or you could temporarily change the $wgPasswordAttemptThrottle settings. Cache key for the login attempts includes the IP address and a hash of the username, if you're brave enough to clear an individual entry: $throttleKey = wfMemcKey( 'password-throttle', wfGetIP(), md5( $this->mName ) ); The default maximum is 5 hits in 5 minutes (300 seconds), so _should_ be long expired already if using defaults. -- brion _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
