I am being told that a brute force attack is occurring and preventing me from logging in. I checked the specified link and all questions there are over 2 years old. Is this an ongoing issue? Further reading advised that the lock would be reset after 15 minutes - I have been waiting for over an hour and still cannot get logged in!

Hello cyborgd01, Sorry to hear you are being brute forced on your Joomla login. If the login is not reset after 15-20 minutes, then there is likely an ongoing issue. You can check out our article on helping to Prevent Brute Force Login Attempts in Joomla 3. Kindest Regards, Scott M
