Uh….if my hexadecimal knowledge is worth anything, that’s a LOT of minutes. What can I do to fix this? We’re unable to get in and do anything with our EE account.

The quickest way around this would be to register a new member at yourdomain.com/member/register (you may need to set some config overrides to allow new member reg)
Then with the new member created, use your db management tool to change that new member to belong to the super admin group (1).
You should then be able to login with the new ID.
As for the time thing, I’m sure there’s a config setting for that as well that you might want to set.

Are you seeing this error with any/all member logins that have CP access at the first login attempt or just a specific member group?

You can try overriding that in the EE v2 config file by looking for, or adding:
$config[‘password_lockout’] = ‘y’;
$config[‘password_lockout_interval’] = ‘1’;
Save it, refresh your login page, and try again to see if the x login attempts ever y seconds changes with your change in the config file.
