# Why is my account "Locked"?

## Accounts are locked after too many incorrect password attempts.

**Lockouts are only temporary, so do not worry!**

This is a safety measure to ensure accounts are safe from any type of login brute forcing. Give it about 30 minutes and you should be able to try again.

To prevent being locked out again, we suggest [requesting a new password](https://www.lurkit.com/reset-password) if you have forgotten yours.

Please take note that requesting a password change while your account is locked will not work. Wait until the lockout has ended before doing so!
