SharePoint Error: “Access to this Web site has been blocked. Please contact the administrator to resolve this problem.”
While trying to get a site collection in browser, It gave me this error: “Access to this Web site has been blocked. Please contact the administrator to resolve this problem.”
Root cause:
I understand, the site collection is being locked out! Wanted to unlock it by going to the Central Admin website. Central Administration > Application Management > Site Collection Quotas and Locks and select Not locked. But that also resulted in an error.
Hmm… SharePoint doesn’t allow me to unlock the site via Central Admin.
Solution:
Unlock the site collection using STSADM
stsadm -o setsitelock -url <site-collection-url> -lock none
Yeah, This resolved my issue and got the site back.
