I'm trying to sync Firefox between my Windows computer and my iPhone. I can sign in successfully to my computer at first, then I make a muddle with passwords and now 'Attempt Limit Exceeded' appears on both phone and computer. Do I delete my whole account and start again?

I did some searching on the web, and that error may be based on your IP address. Are you sharing your connection with anyone?
