## Reset IP restriction

If you entered a wrong value into the allowed IP list then LAM might lock you out of the system. You can reset the IP list like this.

### File system storage

You need to manually edit the main configuration file (config.cfg) on the file system.

1. Locate config.cfg: On DEB/RPM installations it is in /usr/share/ldap-account-manager/config and for tar.bz2 in config folder.

2. Locate the "allowedHosts" entry in the file

3. Remove the line starting with "allowedHosts: "

Now you can edit the IP list again via LAM GUI.

### Database storage

Use a database admin tool (e.g. MySQL Workbench/phpMyAdmin) and connect to your database. Locate the table "main_configuration" and the row with value "config" in column "name". You will now need to edit this value which is in JSON format.

There is an entry "allowedHosts" followed by a colon. Now, remove anything of the value in quotes that comes directly after. Do not remove the quotes.

Now you can edit the IP list again via LAM GUI.
