Hello, I know about the security of cPanel is good, but have someone type of "panic mode"? Starting at this morning y have a lot of Chinese trying to access to my system. But at the same time I can't access too, when I try to login cPanel display: [QUOTE]El inicio de sesi"n no es v"lida.
or in English: [QUOTE]Session Starter is Invalid
[QUOTE] 5 failed login attempts to account root (system) -- Large number of attempts from this IP: 117.21.224.202 Origin Country: China (CN)
Thanks!

  dezagus, The root account is locked out in cphulkd due to excessive login failures. You will have to clear the brutes table in cphulkd. # mysql -u root -p (give your mysql password ) mysql> use cphulkd mysql> delete from brutes; You should be able to access now. Also, enable csf/lfd and disable cphulkd in my opinion :)

  Dear, Thank you for answer. If the value "Maximum Failures By Account" is cero, this means about if someone try brute force to "root" this will not block the account for all, inclusive, me? .vB
