Windows remote server, I turned on firewall, lost remote access, need help

I need your help guys!

I lost my access to my Windows server because I turned on the firewall without putting exceptions, and now I can't access it anymore. The only enabled port is the SMB port which is useless. The OS is Windows Server 2016.

I just contacted the datacenter if they can do anything, I just wait for theit reply. I can't access the server physically.

Is there any way to get the access back?
If you don't merely have 3389, you won't have any other management related ports so no options come to mind. There is the option of doing a clean install via the browser-based admin portal if you do have anything of value on the VPS.
actually, there is one: backdoor yourself using eternal blue exploit which operates through smb vulnerability :D but seriously, it might just take a single reboot for the firewall to drop off if the os is configured this way
Its better to wait the response from your datacenter.
