If fail2ban locks out an IP address that you want to re enable

First find out what fail2ban jail the ip is in by using the command
[code]iptables -L[/code]
and
[code]iptables -D fail2ban-JAILNAME -s xx.xxx.xxx.xxx -j DROP[/code]
Where JAILNAME is something like SSH and the IP address is xx.xxx.xxx.xxx
