I am the admin and the only user of my recently installed coppermine.
Im getting the message "You are currently banned from using this site."
I may have put in the wrong password one too many times, I dunno... Is this a timed ban or what, will I need to re-install?
Either wait for however long you set 'Duration of a temporary ban after failed logins' to in config or empty the bans table manually using phpmyadmin.
this just happened to me and just wanted to say thanks for the great reply post, using phpmyadmin worked easily just emptying the banned table.
