I'm locked out of twitter.

Yesterday I changed my username + password, and now it won't let me sign in. I haven't forgot my password, I don't know why it won't let me in, also it hasn't been hacked because there hasn't been any posts or w/e on my twitter page.

Try logging in with your email instead of your username?

I've tried that.

Many times with different passwords too.

Still no luck.

Also I'm not able to use 'Forgot password' because it asks for my mobile number, but my mobile was never signed up.

That's odd, it only asks me for my email address or Twitter username...

When I type my email in it asks me to verify my mobile number, and I type my number in but says 'Unable to verify phone number...'

Very odd :\

Have you tried your old username too? (I'm sure you have xD)

Maybe try it on a different browser, see if you can stop it asking for your number? Xx

Nope that didn't work.

Also I have tried a variation of different passwords just to make sure. Still no luck.

Might just be an error... try again tomorrow. If all else fails there should be a contact e-mail or something for technical problems. if not... then that is really unprofessional of them!

I thought it was unprofessional too because I couldn't find one on the website anywhere.

N.B. I was locked out yesterday evening too. Not been able to login.

And yes Fom, just read it there, but it basically says I need to request a new password, but it won't let me request a new one because it keeps asking for my phone number, and it says it's wrong.

I'm back on twitter now.

I was putting my number in as "07...." and then I tried "+447..." and it worked!
