| You'll have to ask the data center to log into the console and reload iptables for you. There's nothing you can do if you're locked out, unless you have KVM access?

| Are you using a VPS or a Dedicated Server? The only time I've seen an iptables flush cause all connectivity to drop is in an OpenVZ VPS. If it is a VPS, you should be able to reboot it via your VPS control panel with your provider.

| Hey mate,
you can try referring to the logs for directadmin in /var/log or inside /usr/local/directadmin to get more specific information on what the error exactly is. ....

| Hey ,
For doing it via single user mode you will require to contact your Data Center if you do not have access to the server and request for a password reset on it.
