Ok 2factor removal So phone died (yes I know - I should have backups - and I do, but I cannot find this one) I can get into server with root user through SSH But I cannot seem to get whmapi1 twofactorauth_disable_policy to work I get a need to be logged in as root error - BUT logged in as root So just in case I try sudo whmapi1 twofactorauth_disable_policy But get the error sudo: PERM_ROOT; setresuid(0, -1, -1): too many processes

  It seems its Shell Fork Bomb Protection that is not letting me get past - BUT no access to cpanel to change that. Any ideas

  Hi @Jachgu You can run the following perl one-liner to remove/install profile limits (Shell Fork Bomb Protection): Enable Shell Fork Bomb protection: /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/perl526 -I /usr/local/cpanel -MCpanel::LoginProfile -le 'print [Cpanel::LoginProfile::install_profile('limits')]->[1];'
  Disable Shell Fork Bomb protection /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/perl526 -I /usr/local/cpanel -MCpanel::LoginProfile -le 'print [Cpanel::LoginProfile::remove_profile('limits')]->[1];'
  Either one of them run should be followed by: /scripts/restartsrv_cpsrvd
  Once Shell Fork Bomb Protection is disabled let us know if you have any issues with disabling 2fA Thanks!

  Unfortunately it wont let me access that or use that - I cannot change to full root nor sudo - shell fork bomb limits to 35(ish) processes - so even when I reboot its starts up with to many processes. - not sure - might just be a loss

  HI @Jachgu You may want to speak to your data center in that case, they should be able to access the server in single-user mode or through console directly.
