locked out of server, but why?

for some reason, when I start apf firewall and iptables it just locks me out of the server.

-bash# service apf restart
Stopping APF: [ OK ]
Starting APF:iptables v1.2.8:

it stays on the starting apf : iptables v1.2.8 screen for about 10 seconds, then it banned me from the server. how can I flush my IP out of iptables, or start apf firewall without getting locked out?
