I want to pass along a fix I came across for the famous Error 301/ Login Timeout. After trying numerous other older "fixes" that did not seem to work, it seemed I would have to wait until the next server restart to be able to login. Thats when I came across Venithar Method by @Venithar.

I mentioned this on another thread somewhere, but what has worked for me, and a few others is to c&p your password and just repeatedly log in quickly... if the login is taking longer then 15 seconds, quit out and go again or as soon as it says login failed or 301 error hit alt and paste that pw in again and try logging in. The last time this happened to me, it took me about 40 attempts of spamming the login to get in and that was after 4 hrs of not being able to login and getting annoyed with ZOS support. Give it a try, at best, you get logged in, at worst you are stuck right where you are until monday.

I just want to add that instead of waiting 15 seconds, to wait no more that 8 seconds before you cancel you current login attempt and immediately paste (Crtl+V) the password again. It took me about 15-20 tries before I finally logged onto the server. All credit goes to @Venithar for coming up with this fix! Ill paste the original thread below.
