Hey there, Since yesterday my Wikipedia account password is not working. After the problem i changed my pass couple of time. But new password also not working. My wikipedia username is: NahidSultan
when i entered pass it replied (Login error Incorrect password entered. Please try again.). But i'm damn sure i've entered a correct password.
Version: wmf-deployment
Severity: major
OS: Windows 7
Platform: PC
I also found a same report on this (https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53755)
(https://toolserver.org/~quentinv57/sulinfo/NahidSultan)
it says my account is locked
Thanks for taking the time to report this!

This is because your global account
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/NahidSultan is locked.
See this https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Log?page=User:NahidSultan@global
You should create a temporary account on Meta-Wiki and either ask J.delanoy
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:J.delanoy or steward request
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/SRG to be unlocked.
See https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Lock for details. There might be a bug
about having the log-in message say something other than "wrong password"(it
would be filed under Extensions/CentralAuth)

I think this is invalid. This is expected behaviour of CentralAuth (from a steward's perspective, not user's).
File a separate bug about the lack of correct message for logging in after being locked.

Thanks. I asked J.delanoy to unlock.

At least it was resolved quickly, unlike bug 53755, from July, which is still unresolved.
I'm going to resolve this as a duplicate of the newly-created bug 57866, which specifically calls out the poor error message when an account is globally locked.
