So, I was using my test elgg site. I entered the wrong username by mistake and now the account is locked. How to unlock it? It is the admin account. I tried the password reset thing but nothing.
Do I have to wait some time or what can I do?

Looks like it's only 5 min
didjya hafta try wrong pwd 5x ? lolz ;P goto db tbl `private settngs` and delt all yr private settings @looks like login_failure***
Yes, indeed. I tried 5 times to enter the wrong password. I was trying something and bang! Locked account.
If you could understand what this said, don't follow these instructions. Deleting all private settings will remove all settings for plugins and other important site configuration. Here's some documentation on editing the database manually in Elgg.
@Breet:
1) RJC's problem was fixed/ resolved that day.. he just forgot to tellya personally to preempt your unnecessary post ;-) we do kinda stay in touch outside here as well ;-P do you ?
2) I don't give advice loosely or 1/2s`d without doing my research first.
3) There's nothing wrong with 'messing with the database..' in any application - as long you know what the f you're doing..and you know the dangers. I have been patching the elgg database manuallly, just for fun since version.1.0 and have not yet had one single screwup. yes - my slight advantatage is that i have 40++ years' experience 'fooling around ' with databases, and everything else in computing science.
that's a bit unnecessary Dhrup...
