So I try to connect to the server with my new password (I KEEP FORGETTING!)
and I get an error. I'm checking the IP lock now, to see if that's the problem.

Step 1: Update your IP lock if need be
Step 2: Generate a new password
Step 3: Wait two minutes
Step 4: Log in with the new password

If it doesn't work, the IP lock probably locked to the wrong IP address.

mycomputerhelp

Reset the IP lock, and generated new password.
Timer's on, one min left

Thanks, Linuxlove!

You could have come up with the solution yourself, it's written on the server page...

My IP keeps changing....
Is it my PC, my connection or the FTP server doing it?

linuxlove

It's your connection. You most likely have a dynamic IP address which will change every so often.
