I have been using administrative interface(localhost) without any problem. I tried several password and I got locked out.

Now it is giving this error:

admin disabled because unable to access password file

How do I fix this?

Any help is appreciated.Thanks.

In admin app have a folder called private, and within them have a file called hosts.deny , try see if your address are in the file , whether yes , remove them..

Or then , remove from this file , all related with "block access"
