Ok, this is a little scary

I'm Locked out of My AdSense Account!

[knights1]

I can't login to my Adsense account. I went on adwords an hour ago and it asked me some questions it doens't usually about whether or not I'm the only one who logs into my account, and then it asked for a username and pword (wasn't really paying attention but it metnioned something about this being the same for adsense too) I put in my same e-mail and pword i have always used for adwords/adsense but now when I try to login to adsense the screen just comes back to the login screen, it doens't say wrong pword, or no account for that e-mail, just reloads the login page, I haven't received any emails from google, so what's going on? I shouldn't get banned, I haven't done anything wrong.

It might be the ghost of Christmas past - are you sure you haven't been a naught boy?

[anthrt]

probably just a browser problem. i wouldnt worry too much about it.
you say there were no messages such as the password being incorrect etc so just sit it out.

I'm almost positive I haven't been naughty, maybe one of my pages had more than 3 adsense boxes but i found out about that rule and fixed it, and that was 2 weeks ago, I'm hoping this just has to do with my browser and that pword reset thing in adwords...I can still login to adwords if that helps...

This topic doesn't come up often in the Adsense forum, but I've seen several comments like yours in the Adwords forum. You might try digging thru that a bit. I seem to recall it being a bit of a glitch in the system, I could be wrong though.

Email Adsense or Adwords support and ask them for help.

Hi Derek,

I was only joking mate. I too reckon that it is a browser issue or something there end. Get a mince pie and a glass of whiskey and spend your time on your site. Then when it is sorted you can see all the clicks.

Merry Christmas

Sure you've not just enabled the google accounts login thang? All accounts one username psswd.

[knights1]

yes i think thats what i did but the username and password was already the same, and I'm still typing in the same as it was, which is what I typed in when they asked for the one login for both accounts,

Seem to remember once reading about problems with this...clear your browser cache cookies etc. Try again!
goodluck :)

Could be a secure sites fault in Internet Explorer. If running XP how about a syst restore.

I am running xp, what's a syst. restore? Also, I deleted files and cookies from my internet options and still no good...

Did you reset your privacy levels?

Are you using an anti-virus or anti-adware software that is refusing cookies or perhaps blocks AdSense URLs (longshot)?

Is JavaScript turned off?

System Restore
Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore

Lets you restore your computer to a state in which it existed on a specific date in time. So if your computer was cool the day before, you can restore it to the settings existing on that date.

i did a sys restore and it did no good...i e-mailed google adsense to tell them to reset my adwords and adsense accounts back to what they were incase that google accounts thing changed them...oh also, when i go into my google account and then try to login to either my adsense or adwords it says congrats yu have logged into your google accounts account but it is not a valid adsense account? the e-mail was primarily an adsense account so I don't understand how all of a sudden it isn't anymore?

happened to me before as well. being an adsense publisher for awhile i decided to setup an adwords account as well. after the first login to adwords, my adsense account was not accessible for few hours. it was set back to normal by itself.

thanks, I got in using the www.google.ca/adsense/login1 instead of login3...it's annoying but it works...
