Locked out-too many attempts

Hey, my main Skype account with all my contacts is locked. It has usually auto signs in, but for some reason didn;t today....I had forgotten the email associated with it, and now that I know which email, it won't let me get a password reset due to trying too many times.
User [Redacted for privacy], thanks.

That is almost the same issue that I am having, I just got done talking to live support and they suggested i changed my microsoft password, I changed it but it still says i am locked out due to too many attempts. I had forgotten my password after trying it at least 3 times, I changed my password and tried it again and it locked me out. I am using skype through the windows 8 store, and I am able to access it just fine on my other computer account but unable to go in it on this one.

  • HT4061 My new iPad Air is locked from too many attempts to log onto it.

    The red power slider is not working.  I installed iTunes and have no backup for the iPad yet.  I tried plugging the USB into the PC and holding the upper shutdown/wakeup button and home button at the same time.  When I saw the Apple icon I kept holding the home button as suggested and simultaneously plugged the other end of the USB cable into the iPad.  I got a message from iTunes saying I could not connect to the iPad because it was locked with a passcode and You must enter the passcode on the iPad before it can be used with iTunes.  I did go on Apple and reset my apple password but I cannot get to any point where I can reenter this new password to unlock the iPad.  Any ideas how I can unlock my iPad?

    Yes. Before connecting to iTunes via USB cable, turn on your iPad, and unlock it (using passcode) and DO NOT TURN IT OFF before connecting it to your PC/Mac for Backup. After connecting it, Open iTunes on your computer, press the iPad logo on top right (or left: depending on what iTunes version you have) After pressing the iPad icon, press SYNC (you may have to scroll down a little).
    Then, just wait till it gets fully synced and backupped, then eject the iPad, (By pressing a triangle and a line icon) when hovering over the iPad icon on the PC
    Pressing the HOME and POWER at the same time when the iPad is asleep doesnt do anything special. Just try pressing the POWER button (top) for about 5 seconds to turn it on. If it doesnt work, press it for 7 seconds, or CHARGE it.

    A data recovery company MAY be able to do it for a price. The Disabled is a very good security feature.
    JWhy not just restore from the last backup you have?
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • I would like to sync using a certain e-mail address. I'm getting the message that I have made too many attempts to sync using the address?

    I would simply like to use the same e-mail address to use the sync option. After using an incorrect e-mail, I deleted that account. I am now getting an error message that states I have made too many attempts to create an account using the e-mail that I wanted to use. Thank you.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    *In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    *In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

  • My Iphone is disabled because of too many attempts at unlocking in with incorrect passcode.  I know the code and do not want to "restore" phone.  How can I fix this

    My Iphone 4 is disabled as a result of someone making too many attempts at guessing my passcode.  I know my passcode and do NOT want to "restore" my phone.  Is there a way for me to use  my passcode to unlock it once it has been disabled?

    Its frustrating because all of the help assumes you have forgotten your passcode, or that you can get in to your phone to get the ID number.

  • Can't log in; too many attempts

    I have reset my password but Skype continues to prevent my login and maintains that I've made too many attempts; try again later. How long do I have to wait, and what can I do to solve this? It has not been working for some time. There is no network administrator to reset my login attempts so this is incredibly frustrating.
    Thanks.

  • Too Many Attempts?

    I've just moved onto a new wireless router/network at home, and I can no longer connect to iChat wirelessly. All other internet applications work, but when I open iChat, it logs on, immediately logs off, and does it again and again until I get an error message saying that I've attempted to log in too many times in too short a period, so try again later (and all of my buddies are gray-ed out). Is there a fix for this? Or it is something wrong with my wireless router/network?
    Thanks in advance!!!

  • Report timing out, "Too many records"

    I am using CR XIR2 with a univers that I created to run an inverntory report. The report works fine in the designer but when I go to run it from the CR Server It times out. (Very quickly).  If I put filters and only pull a subset of the data the report works fine. This issue is there should not be too many records. Where can I check to make sure that there are no limitations set and I can get all of the records? I have set the parameters for the Universe to no limit records or time to execute. Is there any place else I can check? or any other ideas?
    Thanks

    What viewer do you use?
    If the viewer is ADHTML, you are using the RAS (Report Application Server). In that case, you need to set the number of (db) records to read in the RAS properties on the CMC.
    If the viewer is DHTML, Java or ActiveX, you are using the CR Page Server. You will need to set the number of db records to read in the Cryatal Reports Page Server properties on the CMC.

  • I can't remember my two security questions on my account. I made too many attempts and got kicked out for 8 hours. I do have a back up email addy that's verified on my account as well. Any resolutions?

    Looking for some help please!  I just got an iPad 4 and tried to purchase some apps on it and was prompted to answer my Two Security Questions that are on my apple account, and I can't remember them. I do have another verified email account attached to my account besides my @me.com one.
    I created an apple account a couple years ago when I purchased my iPhone and now I can't remember what my answers were. If anyone has any suggestions or resolutions, it would be greatly appreciated as I cannot purchase anything on my new iPad and cannot make another attempt for 8 hours to my failed attempts :( Thank you

    Tomorrow call AppleCare and ask to be transferred to the account security team.

  • Error message - could not connect to aim - too many attempts to login

    Today when I tried to iChat, I got a message I haven't seen before. The error message reads "You have attempted to lgin too often in a short period of time. Wait a few minutes before trying to login again." I did notice my window continuing to try and login -- not sure why it wouldn't. I did install a new router yesterday and my internet works fine. Would this have some impact on iChat? Or are there certain settings I might need to change?

    Hi,
    If you are on 10.6.x did the port change stick ?
    SSL tends to have to be On and the Enter key needs to be used to "Set" the port.
    On the Netgear access the WNA set up page.
    Turn Off the Port scan and DOS (Or SPI) and Disable the Ping Blocking.
