The temporary ban is actually a security feature: after a number of failed login attempts, the account (admin or user) gets temporarily banned to avoid brute-force attacks. You can set the threshold in coppermine's config - refer to documentation: Number of failed login attempts until temporary ban (to avoid brute force attacks) (http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg14x/docs/index.htm#admin_user_login_threshold_start) and Duration of a temporary ban after failed logins (http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg14x/docs/index.htm#admin_user_login_expiry_start).

Yes, obviously someone is trying to hack your site using a brute-force attack. What's the actual question?

i have the same problem. I can't log in. I tried several times yesterday and i got banned from my own galerie. and now it won't even recognise me. It worked earlier i dunno why it don't recognise me anymore. I thought i had forgotten the password but, then when i entered my email address, it don't recognise it either.

Use phpMyAdmin, browse coppermine's users table to check if your account is still there. Post a link to your coppermine-driven gallery as well.

TheEyeGirl, do you know about our French board? You can ask for help there if you are more comfortable writing/reading French.
