1) You would need to edit the code to change the limit of "5" attempts, the only setting is to turn this feature off or on 'Login "Strikes" System' in vBOptions

PHP Code:

    if (!$vbulletin->options['usestrikesystem'])
    {
        return 0;

and after it, add this:

PHP Code:

    if (in_array(IPADDRESS, array('192.168.0.1', '192.168.0.2')))
    {
        return 0;
    } 


replacing 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2 with the IP addresses you wish to exempt.
