You need to use the console to temporarily remove the rule.

Though the anti-lockout rule on LAN should have prevented you doing this. :-\

so i would type "pfctl -d" to the console then i can gain access to the webgui then uncheck the "block private network" then type "pfctl -e" again ?
i dont know , but it accepted the changes then i locked myselft out :(
