did you try using the old password? maybe it wasnt finished updating.

did you try to recover your password? https://www.mql5.com/en/auth_forgotten

Okay guys, i have resolved the problem. This is how.

I found out that mql5 was blocked locally on my pc, so I used chatgpt to guide me through unblocking it.

There's a host file in Systems32 that's responsible for that. I asked chatgpt to guide me through editing the file in notepad. Pretty simple, didnt take 5minustes.

There is a few threads on this site describing that issue. Some brokers have mt4/5 installer that adds the mql site to the hosts file for what reason, no one has found out why.

So i recommend that you check that file again every week or so. And if you only used installer from a single broker, then, you can assume that that broker has that installer.

It is also believed that some viruses add mql5 sites to hosts file, however, i think that it is the installers, since the users that report this, are obviously installing mt4/5 just like the other users.

I personally had this issue on one of my laptop/Windows so that is why I know about it.
