Open the site from another IP address. Users can do this from a mobile device phone, or use Opera browser and enable free VPN. Try turning off the router for a few minutes and then see if it assigns a different IP address. These will work if the website hosting server is configured correctly. If that doesn’t work, connect to the site using FTP or the hosting control panel file manager. Navigate to “wp-content/plugins/” and rename the limit-login-attempts-reloaded folder. Login to the site then rename that folder back to the original, and safelist your IP through IP access rules.

By upgrading to our premium app, users will have the unlocking functionality right from the cloud so they'll never have to deal with this issue.
