Thank you very much for being so responsive and looking into this!
We do have a relatively strict lock policy because of brute force attempts on people's accounts in the past. However, it's probably a smidge too aggressive at the moment, so I'll loosen it up a bit. I believe that the forum tracks lockouts on a per-IP basis, though, which would explain why it wouldn't let you in during the lockout period either.
