    Hello guy’s, i need some assistance my http://www.examplesite.com/wp-login is gone i think i did something to one of the files because now i have no more admin page and i lost all admin privileges on my account, i tried the php method to restore access to my user plenty of times even created a couple brand new ones with the method nothing worked, i tried the ftp method as well as Emergency reset. nothing worked. Any suggestions? if someone can tell me exactly where all the wp-admin files are located maybe i could overwrite my old ones with the new ones and see if it comes back? thanks and btw my site shows up but the wp-admin page is non existent, sigh

    You can do that by temporarily renaming the plugins folder (under wp-content), to something else.

    Try deactivating that theme (assuming the site has a clean version of the default theme intact?) see the page above.

    Also, you’d be well-advised to make a backup of the site before you do any more troubleshooting on this.

    Btw i appreciate both of your help so much! and defiantly i made a back up before i started all this editing so i should be well when all is done i tried uploading the backup but it’s not uploading so your saying i should just delete the theme then? and i read the article on top as well nothing has seemed to work out for me yet

    Good going — backups are always good :). Try just renaming the theme – no need to delete it — then WP will go to the default theme.

    Yes they are indeed sir! and i renamed the theme but all it did was make the homepage a blank white page the same as the wp-login ahhh

    Sounds like the site does not have the default theme (which it should – that should NEVER be removed or changed) – are there any other themes in the themes folder? If not, try downloading twentytwelve and adding it to the themes folder via FTP.

    Hmm, try:
    – re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder – from a fresh download of WordPress. Make sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new ones.
