If you already haven't, test your forum password strength on the Microsoft Password Checker Utility Site. If your password does not achieve at least a strong rating, please consider changing it to something more secure.

If there are any difficulties changing your password, please feel free to contact me and I will get them corrected.

Does the forum have a maximum password attempts in a time frame, or lockout, or start making you "type out the letters/numbers you see in the box" or some such protection against brute force crappo? I never err, put my password in incorrectly enough to find out.

It will lock out the account after around 5 failed password attempts, there may be some work arounds as always though, which is why having a complex password that is extremely difficult to brute force is a necessity.
