CIT fix
CIT account locked after too many login attempts
After 10 wrong passwords the account is locked for 24 hours.
Steps
Read the lock message
Only if the message confirms the lock.
After 10 wrong password attempts CIT locks the account for 24 hours and you cannot log in during that time. One failed login is not this lock.
If you forgot the password
Click Forgot my password on the CIT login screen and use your email. With no recovery email, post on the Account Retrieval board using the format in cit.gg/index.php?topic=123320.0
Source: CIT forum
Worth knowing
Reinstalling MTA does not remove the lock. Resetting the password is not known to end a lock early.
