I impersonated a user (who was ip banned) by accident and i can’t log back into my account. I don’t have a VPN or a phone (yet). What do i do?
AI-generated summary
The user LxmasWasntHere accidentally impersonated an IP-banned user and lost access to their account, unable to log in due to using a school Chromebook. Lilly suggests using a different IP, such as a coffee shop or friend’s phone, and notes that admins can unblock IPs via admin-logs-screened_ip_addresses. Canapin directs to a meta discussion on the topic, while anon65426961 suggests a library computer. LxmasWasntHere later updates that an admin from another site helped unblock their IP, and thanks the community 10.
go to a place that has wifi like a coffee shop or something (anywhere with a different IP) and log in. go to admin-logs-screened_ip_addresses to unblock the IP.
I can’t do that sadly, because i’m using a school chromebook and i can’t take it everywhere
use a friends phone

This issue is already covered on meta. It’s one of the first results from the search: Search results for 'admin ip banned' - Discourse Meta
You could use a library computer that has a different IP if you have a library card for that.
A admin i messaged on another website responded and got me back. Thanks for more details!
Ah good, congratulations about that!
