Unable to login to website – root htaccess file blocked IP address

[Kobus]

Good Day,

I experienced some attacks from websites and my site have actually been compromised and are still being hacked and therefore I have blocked some IP’s as notified by BPS, wordfence and Sucuri. Laugh if you have to, but I also blocked my own IP by mistake.

BPS is working so well I can not get into my own website or wp-admin. Due to the reason that I can not get into my wp-admin I can not unblock my site. Any suggestions?

Kind Regards
Kobus

Delete your IP address from being blocked.  If you used BPS Custom Code to block your IP address then delete/modify your custom code and save your edits/changes before activating BulletProof Modes.

Unable to login into your website:

1. Use FTP or your Web Host Control Panel File Manager and delete the .htaccess file in your website root folder and the .htaccess file in your wp-admin folder.
2. Log into your website and Activate all BulletProof Modes. Or if you are removing BPS do steps 3 and 4 under BPS removal steps.

Regarding your website being hacked see this forum topic: http://forum.ait-pro.com/forums/topic/wordpress-hacked-wordpress-hack-cleanup-wordpress-hack-repair/  You should assume the worst case scenario that your entire hosting account is compromised/hacked.
