Whoops. Locked out of the muse-wanted server again.

I don't get it. We have it so only my computer can touch those files. I haven't saved my password and log-in anywhere, and I've dumped cookies and temp files religiously.

and_love -? What's going on?

I'm starting to think this isn't something wrong on my end. The hacker must be getting his info somewhere else.

Are you using a dictionary word(s) for your password? Even if interspersed with numbers, many hackers have programs that will find passwords quickly if they are based on dictionary words. Are you using symbols and numbers in your password? Are you using the max number of characters for your password?

It could be the program that is protecting the server. Some (poorly designed)programs store the password in an unprotected file, so if the hacker knew what file stored the password, he could just look it up there, without actually 'hacking' anything.

Good luck figuring this out!

My passwords are transliterations of Tibetan words, so they look like gibberish. She thinks she knows what's going on, the tech people are helping her. But the server's been locking me out every two weeks.
