      Easiest way is click the forgot password link.

      I’f you locked out due to too many failed logins either wait for the time to elapse and try again or log into your database through PHPMyadmin and find the user_attributes table and reset the failed login count and session to 0 for your user, then edit the manager_users table for your user and type in a new password in the password field and select MD5 from the dropdown.

      You should then be able to log back into the manager.

        What is the time set to elapse before trying again?

          One hour, unless you changed it.
