I just had the same thing happen. Latest password rejected so I dug out the
last post from them and pasted the password in again - and it was again
rejected. Asked for a password reset and put the same password back - and it
worked..
They seem to be really screwed up right now.

I guess I've stayed on only to help JHB reach its required numbers. I fly
VFR from choice but significantly degraded hearing makes ATC contact
unattractive anyway. So, I've still been using IVAO when convenient. In
truth I've not been using FSX as much as in the past, apart from for scenery
testing.
I can see why they have occasional purges but they could benefit from less
navel gazing and try to see some of the situations from the point of view of
the users. Today and yesterday are good examples. Having been provided with
new passwords, IVAO seems to have disowned them. In view of its length and
complexity, surely not justified, I've done a paste and copy, only to have
it rejected again. So, I've requested a new password and see it has just
arrived. I'll try again but am rapidly losing patience. No fault of JHB but
I'm always, anyway, put off by high falutin and Walter Mitty type
correspondence from IVAO, with much use of titles and the sort of business
speak that I thought retirement allowed me to avoid.
