    i have no programs running or anything trying to sign in. but for the past 8 hours every 59 minutes when i try to log in it says i've tried too many times and i need to wait another 59. like a program (or someone) but most likely a program has been trying to log on with a bad pass for 8 hours. theres nothing i can do is there?

    login through a proxy, i think they only track how many tries its been on your own ip so i dont think even if someone was running a bot or trying to login it would do that, because i messed up on my password a few times and had to wait but i just went through a proxy and it let me sign in.

    i dont think it would be proxy... more like attempts on that 1 account 0_O

    and the fact that he cant log in on his ip when the programme is most likely on another ip covers tht

    That's weird. Have you been IP banned ? :/
    If so, you should try to log on with a proxy.​

    can't be IP ban, it doesn't do that.

    do you use public computer?

    This happen to me before, but that's because of my brother trying to hack into it.

    Your N E O P E T user name may have been saved into the type-in box.

    someone can just simply double click and see your username and try to login or something?

    Umm, it sounds like somebody has been trying to hack into your account via your own IP lol. Either that, or you personally tried too many times because if you try to login through a proxy, it should work. That's odd, maybe TNT is trying this new method to check your account for cheating...

    i know chillin irl, his brother or anyone else in the house wouldnt try and hack him considering he has his pass.

    maybe you have a program that didnt close all the way buts hidden and its still trying to login or something. idk.

    Really ? Sorry, then.
    I thought that it let you try 5 times, then after it keeps saying you don't have the good password.​

    Hmm, this is very weird. An IP ban would usually say that you have a bad password. If they let you in sometimes, it maybe just a glitch that TNT has messed up on. You might want to not touch the account because it might be dangerous and get you iced...

    Try clearing all your cookies and logging in again?

    I don't know if that'd work for Neopets, but I know that when trying to log onto MMORPGs, if I'd forgotten my password and tried too many times, closing the program and clearing all the cookies deleted my history of bad login attempts, and I could get in without having to wait an hour.

    thats probably what it was, when you close vibe it doesnt close all the way, it still runs in the back ground. you have to control alt delete then go to processes and find it.

    when you closed the program you were using, it could have crashed or something and kept running only in your processes.

    restarting your computer or going to task manager and ending the process to that program will fix it if it happens again.

    I remember that happened to me once where when i closed a program it kept running in windows processes even though I couldnt see it, and I kept getting logged out.
