As part of one of my Code Camp presentations, I am going to build a photo-blogging app (using the construction of this app to illustrate new features in WM5.0 and .NET CF 2.0). Well, one of the two services I am building support for (for the presentation) is MSN Spaces (and for the curious, I plan to further develop this app after the presentation to make it something substantial).  So, I created a MSN Space and got started working against their API (MetaWeblog). 

Guess what? I fudged the password a few times so my account is now locked out for twenty-four hours..with no way to reset it.  I was receiving 'Access Denied' and wasn't certain what was causing it so I headed to the MSDN Forums and found someone with the same issue.  Here's the thread with Dare Obasanjo's reply I agree with some other posters that the lockout period needs to be shortened, or there there needs to be some means for the space owner to reset it.
