too many failed attempts: try again in 4 minutes

10 sign-ins failed in 5 minutes.

The limit counts for the full server, not for each address. Thus it is possible that the failures are not yours.

Wait. The server accepts sign-ins again when the oldest failure is 5 minutes old.

Another person tries to sign in. Keep the API on 127.0.0.1, and reach it through an SSH tunnel.

Terminal

ssh -N -L 7878:127.0.0.1:7878 you@your-server

I forgot the password

Nobody can read the password of the account. Set a new password on the server.

The CLI cannot reach the server

The ferry command gets no answer at the address of the server.
