When trying to log in, I kept getting my account locked for 5 mins, so I logged in an alt to see if it was an SL problem or my problem. I ran into my main Avi standing around in the house and I can't get her out.

Any ideas on how to get her logged out so I can log back in as her???

This happen to me for a month. SIM reboot was the only cure.

I put in a help ticket and they had some method of fixing problem by logging into a SIM where my avatar is not ghosted but it never worked for me. Try logging straight into a SIM you have never been to. Maybe it will work for you.

I never knew where my ghost was.
If private island, you can ask owner for reboot.
If mainland, waiting for rolling restart is only cure i found.

Inability to log in caused by ghost avatar

This is happening a lot lately, although the current rolling restart should help clear current ghosts.

I was also unable to log in to my main account at the weekend, but as an alt, found myself looking quite normal on a beach! Even online tracking devices were showing my main avatar as going online and offline, which was rather confusing to friends, who thought when they were sending me IMs that I was just ignorantly ignoring them.

As you know where your avatar is, Linden Support should be able to reset the region if its mainland and have you back in as your normal self in a jiffy.

Also, if you ever become aware of someone else who has left a ghostly presence behind, please let them know via IM - they might also be having difficulty logging in at that moment and will be grateful to you for sorting out that mystery for them.
