    Are you referring to the WordPress admin dashboard?

    What happens if you try to access that login page?

    Using Phpmyadmin (or another MySQL management tool), first backup your database. Then navigate to your wp_usermeta table and locate the meta_key called “wp_capabilities” for your user_id. Change the meta-value for this record to:

    a:1:{s:13:"administrator";s:1:"1";}

    Thank you both. I put kudos on my site!

    Thanks again.
    This is a fascinating program.
    I am as excited with WordPress as I was years ago with Android!

    Thanks again esmi, Lorenzo!
