Urgent: how to disable login strike without admincp access

[kerry oki]

Had the same exact problem:

Fixed the problem myself.

My host settings somehow cause the forum to think everyone's IP is the same.

So I went to the control panel of my host and to the Mysql file. In the strike table, delete the file entries. This will let you sign in but won't solve the problem.

Then go sign into your forum , go to your Admin panel, and then and turn off the setting that makes the forum lock you out after five sign in attempts. In the Admin panel, go to Options = general settings = then select NO for this:

Use Login "Strikes" System
Setting this to no will disable the system that prevents a user (with a specific IP address) from logging into an account after entering an incorrect password 5 times.
