Windows 10: Site is blocked

I accidentally caused the facebook.com site to be block on my laptop.

After my mistake, attempting to access facebook.com results in this notification.

=====

Block Site

www.facebook.com is blocked!
In order to remove this domain from the block
list, please visit options page.
=====


As is often the case, I follow directions and can't find anything that is referenced.

Can anyone expand on that "visit options page" so I can unblock facebook.com?


I'm using Windows 10 (if that helps)

How To Block Facebook

Step 1. Explore C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc.
Step 2. Look for a file named as hosts, then open it with Notepad.
Step 3. At the bottom of the file, add the line as shown below:
127.0.0.1 www.blockingsite1.com
We have just shown you www.blockingsite 1.com as example only, replace it with the actual URL so that they are inaccessible to all.
Step 4. Simultaneously if you have more websites that would like to be blocked, just press Enter and repeat step 3 to add additional URL until all desired websites are added. Now make “Enter” at the last line of the UR
Step 5. Save and close the file.
After doing the above formalities all websites that you have entered will be blocked with immediate effect. Definitely this theory will help you to prevent certain websites from being accessed by your kids or anybody else for any reason.
