Hi All,
Thanks to Nick for helping with the password reset. We still don't know

Perhaps that message could also be caused by some throttling error,
although I'm not aware of that.
I wonder if the password may somehow be provided differently from your
Chinese system, although that also seems unlikely.

Hi Thad,
Ah, I checked with and without a VPN.
I see this without a VPN: https://i.imgur.com/GbspDOE.png (includes the
missing line)
Which links to: Special:PasswordReset
but it is *not usable* from a blocked VPN to prevent abuse.
Sidenote: Your 2nd screenshot has your email-address in the
Capitalization of the first letter shouldn't make any difference, I rather
suspect that password is mistyped.
Although it wouldn't show this error message, no block or lock are placed
