    I was able to get my site working again by having the host admin delete ip_filter…
    The bypass function will not let the admin login to fix the issue.

    And the issue was, I entered too many values in a single line that ended in a wildcard (*)

    I meant to filter the IP address 121.5.*.*
    but I entered 121.5.*.*.* (too many wildcards

    That translated to:
    121.5.*.*
    *

    and that last wildcard blocked EVERYONE!!!

    Lessons learned:
    1) Be careful and check the “translated” window before exiting
    2) The “bypass” function does not help if you have blocked your own ip address
