ERROR : Sorry, you have tried too many times to guess this password within the last hour. Try again in 11 minutes.

Maybe...
Or did someone mistyped their username and tried to log in to theirs, when they are actually logging into yours? o_0

Maybe so, but I hope not. I got my old account hacked, and I know how it feels. :(

Looks like "this person" is no longer trying to get into my account.

It's nothing to worry about anyways, if they're just trying to guess your password. It might lock you out of your account for a while because of the security measures, but so long as your password is long and unguessable they'll probably never get in.

It is kind of worrying though. So if you have an email account with the same name as your neopets one or listed anywhere public on your neopets account, make sure the password is equally difficult to guess, and that it's not the one linked to your neo account. (making sure you don't have any trace of your neo account's info in whatever email addresses you have public anywhere.)

But it sounds like they gave up. =3 that's good. Sorry to hear about your loss before, but not being "hacked" is easy so long as you stay safe and informed.

I have put in a wrong password repeatly to lock several people from logging in there accounts, I did it to the the ones in the higher positions on the notice board.

Why would you do that? What an immature and annoying thing for someone to do.

While trying to get the Keno avatar I got the 'this games no longer available' :(

When I refreshed it came back with 'You are not signed in' o_O
After a while of thinking is this someone other than TNT's fault I signed back in......but because I changed my password that often, I'd forgotten my password and had to have it sent to me :oops: rofl

So I dont know, is it the site?? or is it something else??

I did it for fun and I hate malls also so I do it to them too.

I'd be a bit careful about bragging about that if I were you. Staffers from Neo have been known to lurk--and some to even post--on these forums. And, therefore, might be able to find out your Neopets' username. My guess is that deliberately attempting to keep someone out of their account is against the rules. If it isn't, it definitely should be. I don't understand why you would even think that was fun. Mallers and people on the notice board have worked very hard to get where they are. Perhaps you should work a bit harder at the game instead of being so jealous of others who have found success.

I agree with Morningstar about that, Akious.

Moreau360, if no one else plays neopets on your pc, you could also stay logged in..
