Dear sara khan,

Your account on Harry Potter Chat has been locked because someone has tried to log into the account with the wrong password more than 5 times. You will be able to attempt to log in again in another 15 minutes.

The person trying to log into your account had the following IP address: ................

Don't forget that the password is case sensitive. Forgotten your password? Use the link below:
http://www.harrypotterchat.org/.....

All the best,
Harry Potter Chat
------------------------------------------------------------------

(i know its really tempting to be me)

a bad thing i would assume in most cases.

you could track the net/pc code with the IP sara. wont take you far, since you wont know the hackers name.
intresting. i would like to do it, if you want.

I do this, too. I was under the impression that this would PREVENT someone from another computer from logging in, including yourself, but it would allow your little brother or someone in the house to just walk right in as you. I should try it from another computer...

Its time to go to battle.
A lot of sites I have been on have been attacked by Hackers lately.

Yes this has happened once. It turned out to be some 40 year dude so I changed my password and asked [BKS] to scare the crap out of him.

This happened on a V Bulliten forum but I will not name that forum well because it got shut down because of V-Geta( a member) hacked an Account of the Head Admin.
