I cannot access /administrator but gets redirectd to to site root, and after 3 attempts I get told: You are a spammer, hacker or an otherwise bad person. Therefore you are blocked from accessing this site.

Im site admin, how do I regain access? Should I go through PHP myadmin or something?

Hello,

most likely you set up a secret param during the Quickstart Wizard, so you need that secret param to get access to your backend.

First of all you should manually disable Admin Tools as described here (https://www.akeeba.com/documentation/admin-tools/web-application-firewall.html#help-locked-out), then get inside the Configure WAF and note down/change/remove the Administrator secret URL parameter field value
