Default Log In Problem

First my browser did not automatically connect to the forum with my password. So I entered my password. Immediately I got a message that someone had tried to log in incorrectly 5 times and I had to wait 15minutes to again try and log in. It also gave a web address to request a new password. I copied the address and requested a new password. It came immediately. I am now back.

Why did it forget my password? Why did I get the message about trying to log in 5 times?

My best guess is that since we upgraded the software last night, you may have had some temporary internet files or cookies left over from the previous version. By logging out and logging back in with your new password you may have deleted all the old forum cookies and now up to speed on with the new version.
