Thanks Nick,

But I do not see the Password Reset button.  (with or without using a VPN)
My password has not changed and still should work, so I don't really need to use the password reset feature.
There must be something else that is causing an error message that simply states:"Incorrect username or password entered. Please try again."
I have always used lowercase for my username and have only changed my password about 3 times since using Wikidata from the very beginning.
The last time it worked was just before my move to China.  I did request the global unblock already and that has resolved the previous messages I got where I could not get a login box.
I do get a regular login page on meta, wikidata, and english wikipedia.  But all 3 say the same message: "Incorrect username or password entered. Please try again."
This concludes me to believe there is an account issue which I do not have the means to resolve myself.
Certainly the easiest test would be to have some admin reset my password to a temporary password emailed to me?
If that works, then we know there is some issue with my password, and if it does not then further investigation could be made (header/response etc.)

Hi Thad,

Ah, I checked with and without a VPN.
I see this without a VPN: https://i.imgur.com/GbspDOE.png (includes the missing line)

Which links to: Special:PasswordReset

but it is not usable from a blocked VPN to prevent abuse.

Sidenote: Your 2nd screenshot has your email-address in the "username" field, which would definitely Not work.

For requesting an exception, see the 3 options at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/No_open_proxies#Global_exceptions_and_appeals

Hope that helps,

Quiddity
