Where does nukesentinal save banned IPs to?

I managed to get myself banned from my own website by attempting to directly access ?op=downloads, and need to know where I need to go to remove my IP address from the banned list, I did a bit of searching but didn't find it listed, I have no other means to access my website and no proxies at the moment, I am also the only admin.

So, what part of the database do I need to go and empty out?

To unban yourself in the Database you would go to MySql Database and scroll down till you see phpmyadmin. Once page loaded select your database name in the drop down. It will then load all tables that your site needs to operate correctly. You will look until you find nuke_nsnst_blocked_ips (assuming your prefix is nuke), once there you click on ip_address in thew drop down and select go. you will then see your ip just check the box and click the red x. If unaware of what your ip is go to www.ipchicken.com. I dunno if you needed it put that deep into but I hope ya understand.

You should not have got yourself banned if you followed the instructions.
When you are back in, go to Sentinel admin and 'scan for new admins' make sure you 'protect' your IP.

I also have managed to ban myself, I guess from trying to log in too many times with the wrong username.
I did what it said above, but I still cannot get in.
I doublechecked to make sure my IP address was not in the banlist in MySql and it's not there, I also tried deleting my cookies in both of my browsers, but can't get in unless I use an anonymizer.

=\
help?

Check the .htaccess file in your webroot, your IP address is probably in there and will need to be removed

Yeah, I had found it there late last nite. =\

Does Nuke Sentinel put it there or is something else triggering it?

I noticed I found my IP address there, but not the IP address of anyone else who had been fiddling with my site.

thx,

You got banned probably because you did not add yourself to the protected range as it tells you to in the instructions.
