    as what I said above, I cannot login to whm/cpanel, I can ONLY login to the vps via SSH. so I cannot hit service cpanel restart.
    anyone can help me to fix the error?

    No, you type:
    Code:
    service cpanel restart
    in the SSH command prompt (as root).

    No need to worries...simply login in to the Server via putty or what ever ssh client software you are using to connect server

    Once you successfully SSH to the server run the following command

    service cpanel restart

    Or

    /etc/init.d/cpanel restart

    Above both command will start the cPanel

    Now run the command

    /etc/init.d/cpanel status

    Above command will show you the following result

    root@[!]# /etc/init.d/cpanel status
    cpsrvd (pid 27713) is running...
    entropychat is stopped
    stunnel is stopped
    interchange is stopped
    qrunner is stopped

    If you receive the same result, it means cPanel is running now and you can try to access the cPanel and webmail

    Make sure that you have cleared the cache from the local machine browser and then try to access cPanel and webmail and if you are still not able to access cPanel then try to stop the server firewall temporary and browse the cPanel.....

    As they said above you just need to log in over ssh and type the provided command and then press enter...
    after the restart process finished you should be able to log in again.

    Hello :)

    Please also ensure that you have no iptables firewall rules blocking access to the ports required for cPanel. You can try temporarily disabling iptables to determine if that's the case via a command such as:

    Code:
    # /etc/init.d/iptables stop
    Please note you should stop any installed third-party firewall applications before running the above command.

    Thank you.

    What command would I need to put into ssh in order to grant myself access to whm again?

    Lets say my ip was: 255.255.255.255.

    I have managed to lock myself out of whm and get the 401 page but have full access with ssh.

    Hello :)

    Are you able to reach the login prompt for cPanel/WHM or does it fail before you get to that point? I suggest making sure there are no firewall rules on your local router or from your ISP blocking access to ports 2082/2083/2086/2087. Beyond that, you can try temporarily disabling your server's firewall using the command in my response above.

    Thank you.

    Thanks for taking the time to reply.

    In the end after seeing another post on webhostingtalk.com I ssh'd into the server and edited the /etc/hosts.allow and added the following rule.

    whostmgrd : <my_ip> : allow
