I was having repeatedly failed login attempts. I was able to get rid of the error message by deleting the content of the table "oc\_bruteforce\_attempts " on nextcloud database. DELETE FROM nextcloud.oc\_bruteforce\_attempts You can put a where clause and limit it by IP so that only your login attempts are deleted: DELETE FROM nextcloud.oc\_brut… > [@Cannot login: Too Many Requests](https://help.nextcloud.com/t/cannot-login-too-many-requests/100905/28): > > This almost drove me nuts. I set up a new NC installation, with the same old domain, but did not restore the old accounts. So, 3 phones 3 computers with all the DAVx5, NC clients etc. tried to log in with invalid logins, so… I get locked out. Although the posts above are somewhat helpful, not one presented me with the detailed solution, step-by-step.
