I got blacklisted. How do I fix it?

[Marvel Chigo]

I got blacklisted for a reason I don't even understand. I just used my password once and I got blacklisted. What do I do to fix it?

That means that you had many login failures to the directadmin control panel.
To remove yourself from the blacklist, edit

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

and remove your IP from the list.
For whitelisting the ip, add it to the file:

/usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/ip_whitelist

If you can't reach your server via SSH either, then you probably got blacklisted via CSF. In that case try via a VPN or something.

Also be sure your ip is added to the /etc/csf/csf.allow and /etc/csf/csf.ignore files.
