I had control of XBMC over iPhone and iPad. It is not connected to a computer. I unfortunately unchecked allow control of XBMC via HTTP. How do I access the settings to recheck it?
Welcome to the XBMC forums.

On your XBMC system: System/Settings > Services > Webserver > Allow control of XBMC via HTTP
That's where I accidentally unchecked the box. Now I seem to have zero control to make the change. My two remotes no longer work and I can not get in on the web.
You'll need to temporarily attach an input device to your XBMC system (e.g., keyboard, mouse or real remote control) to re-enable this setting so you will be able to use your remote control apps or web interface to navigate XBMC over the network.
If you have (SSH) access to the files on the machine (you haven't told us what you are running) you could also make sure xbmc is not running and modify the appropiate settings in guisettings.xml:

Code:
<webserver>true</webserver>
