You own a TinyBBS forum. Because of spammers and hackers, you put it in lockdown mode. Since then, you have cleared your history, cookies, etc., and now you yourself are locked out too. How could you hypothetically regain access

Go to your flood_control table in phpmyadmin, click the little pencil next to the "defcon" setting and change its value to 5. inb4 you get someone else to do it for you.

I cannot even get to that page. I get the "This board is in lockdown mode" page, and cannot access any other page.

The autistic one is the one telling me to die in a fire every post. That is a sign of Autism. The fact that I am asking a simple question does not make me autistic.

You are autistic. This has already been proven.

Someone who does not know what phpmyadmin is, cannot "go there." Come on dde. You are reasonable. Were you born with innate knowledge on how to do this stuff, or did you have to learn? This is not my field. That is like you asking for help in Medieval French, and me saying, "JUST FUCKING DO IT!" Surely you are reasonable enough to understand my point?

It's not a file. Look, if you can't find it the way he described, just go into phpMyAdmin and go to the "SQL" tab, and execute the following code block:
UPDATE `flood_control` SET `value` = '5' WHERE `setting` = 'defcon' LIMIT 1

You know what phpMyAdmin is. It's an applications that most hosts have installed. It helps you manage your MySQL database structure and records. It should be really easy to find for you from a control panel on GoDaddy, or whatever you have.
It's written in PHP and used for administration of MySQL databases.
