Installation

Manage flood table

Drupal prevents brute force attacks on accounts. It does so by refusing login attempts when more than 5 attempts failed. The amount of failed logins is recorded in the table 'flood'.

Flood Unblock provides an interface that makes it possible for site administrators to remove IP addresses and user ID's from the flood table.

You need access flood unblock permissions to access the Flood Unblock page.

Steps

• In the Manage administrative menu, navigate to People (/admin/people)
• Click the tab Flood Unblock . The Flood Unblock page appears
• Select (all) the IP addresses and User ID's that you want to unblock
• Click Remove. The IP addresses and User ID's have been unblocked and it should be possible again to try to login
