Getting locked out

[whaase]

I have been trying to play with pfSense as a home router now for a few weeks. I have not touched any rules yet for the firewall. But every time I try and create an alias or schedule to start to create a rule, I get locked out of the admin panel. I then have to get on to the console/shell and type 'pfctl -d' to be able to get back in. Then when I try to make any changes, I get locked right back out. The last time was I changed the port to get in… i got locked out again and had to run that command. I can't even ssh in when it locks me out

I tried doing another fresh install and have the same issues. I have built a couple pfSense boxes before for work and never had these issues.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Walter
