                     If a player from a banned IP address tries to connect to your server, he will get an
                     error message <i>"connection refused due to ban"</i>.

+                    In the server password file specified on the command line (default:
+                    <i>config/serverpwd.cfg</i>), you can specify admin passwords and passwords
+                    to get over server bans. Each line defines one password.
+                </p>
+                <p>
+                    Example:
+                </p>
+                <pre xml:space="preserve">
+// list of additional server admin passwords
+// WARNING: You can NOT use CubeScript in here!!
+// one password per line
+
+// Use the following scheme...
+// password [denyadmin]
+// optional: if denyadmin is set to '1', the password can only be used to connect to the server in case of ban, not to claim admin
+
+Lorem 1
+ipsum
+dolor 0
+</pre>
+                <p>
+                    In the above example three passwords are defined: <i>Lorem</i>, <i>ipsum</i> and <i>dolor</i>.
+                </p>
+                <p>
+                    <i>ipsum</i> and <i>dolor</i> are full admin passwords. They can be used to claim admin, connect
+                    to a full server and to get over a server ban.
+                </p>
+                <p>
+                    <i>Lorem</i> is a less powerful password: it can only be used to connect to a server that has a pending
+                    ban on the user. This kind of password is useful, whenever a blacklist range ban affects innocent players.
