Mhh... finally it didn't work. :-(
What I did yesterday :
1) cleared out the objectcache table in phpmyadmin (today this table is still empty) 2) cleared out the field 'user_newpass_time' for this user in the user table 3) set $wgPasswordAttemptThrottle to "null" in localsettings 4) changed the user's password with following command : UPDATE user SET user_password = MD5(CONCAT(user_id, '-', MD5('somepass'))) WHERE user_name = 'someuser'; 5) tried to connect myself with username 'someuser' and new password 'somepass' --> it worked! 6) removed the line $wgPasswordAttemptThrottle = null; from localsettings
PROBLEM :
I can login with his account but the user can't. He still gets the message : "You have made too many recent attempts on this account's password. Please wait before trying again."
Could you suggest something else ? I really need to solve this.
I'm not sure but I think I'm not using memcache on my server. Here is what I've found in my localsettings :
## Shared memory settings $wgMainCacheType = CACHE_NONE;
$wgMemCachedServers = array(); # File cache! # $wgUseFileCache = true; # $wgFileCacheDirectory = '/tmp/cache/'; # C:\Server\xampp\htdocs\MW_trunk\cache'; $wgEnableSidebarCache = true; # NO DB HITS! # $wgDisableCounters = true; # $wgMiserMode = true; # Text cache # $wgCompressRevisions = true; # $wgRevisionCacheExpiry = 3*24*3600; # $wgParserCacheExpireTime = 14*24*3600; # Diffs
Thank you very much for your help.

Since you have probably tried to manually unblock him (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Block_and_unblock#Unblocking), you could still modify $wgAutoblockExpiry and/or $wgBlockDisablesLogin, see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Block_and_unblock#Configuration_setting....

Hi,
Sorry for the "urgent" label but I urgently need to unblock a user who cannot login anymore because of too many login attempts with wrong password.
What can I do ?
