Forum:Can't log Bot due to CAPTCHA

Until today, I've been able to use my bot quite happily on w:c:tardis without issue, despite the fact that it wasn't flagged. Today, however, when trying to log it on, I was challenged for a CAPTCHA. I entered the CAPTCHA, checked my spelling against the CAPTCHA, and hit "enter". Then I got the message, "Login failed. Wrong password or CAPTCHA answer." I thought, "Well, this sort of thing happens with CAPTCHAs, doesn't it?" and proceeded to try again. And again. And again. Now upwards of 10 tries later, I still can't login. I know I'm typing the captcha correctly. I went to my local admin to ask if he'd changed anything on the site. He hadn't. I tried some more times and still got the same failure. So now I'm here with you: why is the CAPTCHA requirement suddenly there, and why am I failing to pass it?  Czech Out  ☎ | ✍  18:32, April 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * MediaWiki was updated. You need to update pybot. 19:38, April 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, I just did an update according to these instructions. I did the SVN approach indicated, and it went through all these files and then returned "Checked out external at revision 231.  Checked out revision 8115."  I then tried to login again and got exactly the same stupid error.  What have I done wrong?  Czech Out   ☎ | ✍  21:34, April 19, 2010 (UTC)
