just got an Android today (Samsung Galaxy S). Learning the interface -- so far unsuccessful logging in here. Haven't hit the exceeded attempts limit yet though.

I've been locked out, and so has TC2882, for at least a week. I couldn't figure out how to get back in, but I've had some problems lately that could've added to my confusion. Nonetheless, it seems like I get maximum exceeded login attempts about ever three days.
And may I say, from a moral point of view, I think there can be no justification for shoving snack cakes up your action.

Its not possible for you to have actually been locked out. If your login fails, you are presented with a login failed message, and then underneath it asks you a very simple question, that is not case or space sensitive, and has about 20 acceptable answers:

"In the united states, what protects the right to keep and bear arms"

for which the answer is some variant of "the constitution" or "the second amendment".
But not "second amendment" or "2nd amendment" ... as I found it. ;-)

I've gotten through by using "the second amendment".

I just got back on after 4-5 days of attempts, thanks to this thread. I wondered where the confirmation code was that I was supposed to copy, I did answer the question, probably mispelled it.
Just a bit of a hint, maybe putting directions on the front page and an email address would be very helpful, I am sure others are in the same predicament I was.

Thanks for the info - happened to me too...

I thought I'd saved the wrong password - it would likely fail 3x before I knew what happened...

LT, Tablet, Phone -- done! -- now I understand!

Thanks again...

With or without the "the", both should work.
Tried again from another computer. Seems "The" must be there.

Really? Neither Second Amendment nor The Second Amendment worked for me, but 2nd Amendment did.

And what about us furriners? We don't got no amendment.

I suppose I better not get myself locked out 8-)
