After three consecutive failed administrator login attempts, the system will block the source IP address for the amount of time that you specified in your [[Security_Tab|security settings]]. This helps to prevent against dictionary password attacks.

==Remove the Ban==

To resolve this issue, you can wait for the ban to expire at the displayed time on the error message, log in from a different IP address, or follow these instructions to lift the ban immediately:

# Log in to your database administration interface (usually phpMyAdmin via your server control panel).
# Select the WHMCS database in the left-hand menu.
# Browse to the <tt>tblbannedips</tt> table.
# Locate the row containing your IP address.
# Click the corresponding red "X" icon.

This will remove the ban and you will be able to access your WHMCS installation again.

==Whitelisted IPs==

If you become banned often, consider adding your connection's IP address to the [[Security_Tab#Whitelisted_IPs|Whitelisted IPs]] list.
