Hi - currently migrating over from Github and Bitbucket and it’s looking great so far.

All was going well until I tried to log in today and got this error on [gitea.com](http://gitea.com):

> ## **Sign-In Prohibited**

I haven’t received any emails about this - how do I unlock it please?

Thanks, Nick

hi bro:  
in usual,gitea was installed on your server,so you can control your gitea account on ssh.  
if your gitea is not deployment by yourself, contact the gitea’s admin.
