There isn't one SQL query that could remove all bans. How are you actually banned ?

[rogersnm]

The hacker issued a ip ban on all ip's

Yeah there is. But what's required to know is:
Banned Usergroupid
Normal Usergroupid
Table Prefix
UPDATE TABLE_PREFIXuser SET usergroupid=NORMAL WHERE usergroupid=BANNED
UPDATE TABLE_PREFIXuser SET usergroupid=6 WHERE userid=YOURADMINID

As for ip ban, you just remove that from vb options.

Or if you cannot access your vb options, an option rebuild script would be required...

Via ftp, edit global.php ;

Find these lines;

PHP Code:

// check for IP ban on user
verify_ip_ban(); 


and comment out the second line like this ;

PHP Code:

// check for IP ban on user
//verify_ip_ban(); 


You should then have access.
