If your running Nuke Sentinel then it will not be long before you accidentally ban yourself while working inside the nuke administration.  Nothing to be ashamed about, but it does insight some panic your first time.



If your just now setting up Nuke Sentinel use this guide published by Noto to help you out.



Simple Nuke Sentinel Installation (http://www.clan-themes.co.uk/content-4-simple-nuke-sentinel-installation.html)

The first thing you need to know is Nuke Sentinel bans author abuse in two places (if you have CGIAuth set up correctly).  The first ban is in your phpnuke database in the nuke_nsnst_blocked_ips table.  The second place is your .htaccess in your nuke root.

Ok once your in phpmyadmin and you have selected your phpnuke database.  You should see a long list of tables.

In your left column you need to find  nuke_nsnst_blocked_ips



After you click that table and the right pane has opened a new page.  You need to find the browse tab at the top of the left pane.


After you click browse in the left pane of phpmyadmin you will need to scroll down until you find the text "Sort by key".  Use the drop down list to select date (Descending).


Once you have selected date (Descending) hit go.  The next screen you see will be similar to the below screen shot.


Find your IP in that list and click the Red X just to the left of it.  After you click the Red X a popup will ask you to confirm the deletion.
