cPHulk Brute Force Detection

Ever run into issues with typing in your root password, or forgot what you set it to, then got locked out of WHM? Well, here’s a quick and easy way to get your access back when receiving this error message.

This account is currently locked out because a brute force attempt  was detected. Please wait 10 minutes and try again. Attempting to login again will only increase this delay. If you frequently experience this problem, we recommend having your username changed to something less generic.

Run the following as root in SSH.

mysql cphulkd
mysql> delete from brutes;
mysql> delete from logins;
