1 This is the second in a series of at least 3 cries for help, each on a
2 separate sub-part of my goal of making sense of cups, lpd and Windows Vista.

4 I'm trying to use webmin to look at CUPS administration. I've done it
5 before, but now my attempt to log in has failied, and done so with such
6 persistence that webmin now says "Error - Access denied for 127.0.0.1. The
7 host has been blocked because of too many authentication failures."

9 I was trying both my regular user login and my root login. Neither one
10 worked.
11
12 The obvious questions:
13 1) Should I have used some other login? I don't remember setting up
14 anything else.
15 2) Can I undo the lock out?
16 3) Can I enable an account that I'm likely to remember?
