    I have a godaddy server with cpanel. When they set up the server, they use the root login to access cpanel.

    well, recently I started receiving emails concerning brute force attacks yadda yadda, IP blocked....

    except not just the IP has been blocked but I can not login with root from ANY ip address... And since I tried so many times from my own machine, I can not login with ANY account from home.... dohp...

    how do I fix this?

    thanks!

    Login via another IP or just wait 20-30 minutes for it to drop your IP address. The cphulk is a server wide addon, it does not matter what IP you are accessing if it is part of the same server.

    dedicated server

    Hey John,

    I pay godaddy 160/month for a P4 1GB, with mirrored 120GB drives...

    Can you guys come close to that if I switch to you? I'm tired of Godaddy support.

    If you can't get back in at all, your host can login and temporarily turn of cphulk so you can get back in.
