help w/blacklisted IP

[hkumao]

Hi,
My IP has been blacklisted because I couldn't remember my username/password (I rarely use DirectAdmin). I am not a programmer/admin so I am unfamiliar with the whole SSH process of removing my IP from the blacklist. Is there anyone that can help me with this?
All I want to do in the end is get the backup of my website.
Please help if you can.
I appreciate it!
Thanks.

you got blocked from :2222 or all port ?

if you only blocked from :2222 use this tutorial

Troubleshooting DA service | Directadmin Docs

DirectAdmin Knowledge Base

docs.directadmin.com

if you blocked out of the server. Use web terminal from your VPS Provider to get access it.

and unblocked your ip

( put your ip)
csf -dr 1.2.3.4
csf -r


or just wait your internet provider change your IP.

"you've had too many failed login attempts or accesses to port 2222 without being logged in."

It says, "To remove yourself from the blacklist, edit /usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/ip_blacklist and remove your IP from the list"
but what are the actual steps to do this? Open Terminal and then what?
Sorry this is not my area of expertise.

vi /usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/ip_blacklist

type "i" keyboard to start edit text

after you remove IP, type ESC button and type ":wq" to save and quit from editor.

if you not family with terminal just use winscp to access ( this program will likely be FTP Client) drag and drop file or directly edit with your notepad.

Hi,
I'm on a mac. I open terminal and put that code in and I get
a lot of ~ symbols and

"/usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/ip_blacklist" [New DIRECTORY]

It seems like a dead end to me.
No IPs are showing up. I can't do anything/type anything.
If you could be very "kindergarten" with your instructions, that would help. ha

What kind of terminal? On the Mac itself?
I get that impression because you state you get a new directory.

You have to login via SSH to your Directadmin server. You can use an SSH client for that, like Putty for Mac (click).
Put in your credentials for your server and login at your Directadmin server.
Then you can do the commands @jamgames2 gave you in post #5.
