I had been accessing my Gallery up to 3-15-14 using a "remembered" username/password. Then I was presented with a CAPTCHA image which I didn't remember seeing before at login. When I try to use it I get the message "Logins to this account are temporarily disabled due to multiple failed login attempts. Wait for access to be restored..." I have tried to access the gallery ever since and always get this message like access never gets restored. I had to start a new gallery using G3 but I have many photos in the old gallery and hate to lose access to them. Can you help me gain access to this old gallery? Thanks.

Gallery link: http://www.deansmiley.com/Gallery/main.php

PHP version (e.g. 5.1.6): 5.3
PHPInfo Link (see FAQ):

check the version.dat file in g2data if you don't have admin access.

You can empty the table g2_FailedLoginsMap w/ a tool like phpMyAdmin.
and try disabling CAPTCHA w/:

UPDATE g2_PluginMap SET g_active=0 WHERE g_pluginId='captcha';
