The temporary ban is actually a security feature: after a number of failed login attempts, the account (admin or user) gets temporarily banned to avoid brute-force attacks. You can set the threshold in coppermine's config - refer to documentation: Number of failed login attempts until temporary ban (to avoid brute force attacks) and Duration of a temporary ban after failed logins.

yes i understood it done that , so that means some one is trying to hack my account so how comes every user gets banned

[Joachim Müller]

Yes, obviously someone is trying to hack your site using a brute-force attack. What's the actual question?

i have the same problem. I can't log in. I tried several times yesterday and i got banned from my own galerie. and now it won't even recognise me. It worked earlier i dunno why it don't recognise me anymore. I thought i had forgotten the password but, then when i entered my email address, it don't recognise it either.

Use phpMyAdmin, browse coppermine's users table to check if your account is still there. Post a link to your coppermine-driven gallery as well.
