Am I missing something about portsentry?

In the process of pentesting a machine on local network I got locked out of it due to port sentry. I kept spoofing MAC addreses, and finally got in with an SMTP exploit. Some of the admin stuff has to be done only from a specific MAC address, but its now locked out. I went to portsentry.history and removed the IP address, and removed it from portsentry.blocked.udp, portsentry.blocked and portsentry.blocked.tcp . I even added it to portsentry.ignore. The IP address that was black listed still not able to connect, I get connection to host lost error. I'm sure it's because portsentry.conf file has KILL_ROUTE="/sbin/route add -host $TARGET$ reject". I tried deleting the route, but nothing seems to be working. Any suggestions? thanks -- Vlad G.
