Thanks for posting here about this, anonymous!
If you receive this kind of error message, when trying to reset your Dropbox password, then you’ll need to give it more time till the website allows you to reset it once again (please don’t attempt to reset it again for now).

If you need further help though after some time has passed, give me a nudge Bo, and I’ll be glad to look into this.

One final question: how do I get out of this community and delete all traces behind me?
