I cannot unban my friend from my listen server

[gamemaster257]

Me and a few of my friends were playing Arma 2 over hamachi, and as a joke I thought I would kick one of them. However, I accidentally clicked "Ban" and he was shot off the server. I have tried the "#exec unban xxxxxxx" command with both his player name and id both in the lobby AND in game. There is apparently supposed to be a bans.txt in my appdata/local/Arma 2 folder, but that was not there either. I am running the latest beta patch and I have googled and tried every solution to this problem, and none of them worked.

You should have a bans.txt somewhere. i.e. arma2/default/Battleye .

I don't. I even did a search for a bans.txt file in Arma 2 and the Arma 2 OA directories.

This is still an issue. I need a fix as me and my friend still want to play together.

ban.txt is in this folder:

user/documents/ArmA2 profiles/"insert name here".

Thank you so much. He isn't home right now, but I found the txt and his exact id was the only thing in it. This is now resolved, thanks again!
