Hello, I am having a similar problem with my admin page of my domain at https://www.positivethoughtsdaily.com/admin. I initially accessed my admin console and failed too many password attempts. Then I began seeing a "Forbidden 403" page instead of the admin password entry page. I typically access my admin page via the web2py interface through port 80. Here is what I have tried so far:
1. I contacted PythonAnywhere, my hosting service, and they provided me with code to reset my admin password <https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/Web2pyAdminPassword/>. I did this. 2. I removed and reinstalled web2py and updated to the latest version as Howard did, but the "403 Forbidden" page is still there. 3. It has now been two days since I was initially locked out, so it appears that waiting is not working either. Any suggestions to try next? Apologies if I am missing something simple here.
