Title: admin login Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # admin login * [samnavarro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/samnavarro/) * (@samnavarro) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-login-28/) * Hi, * For some reason I am not able to gain access to the admin site. I am the only one with a username/password and I keep getting an error message stating that I have to wait 30 minutes because I have attempted the maximum number of failed logins. * But this cannot be the case because I only tried to login once yesterday, and I just tried this morning and I keep getting the error message, no matter how long I wait. * Can someone please advise on how to resolve this issue? * Sam Viewing 1 replies (of 1 total) * [Josh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/josh401/) * (@josh401) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-login-28/#post-6244539) * > and I keep getting an error message stating that I have to wait 30 minutes > because I have attempted the maximum number of failed logins. * WordPress does not automatically block login attempts and force the user to wait 30 minutes. * This sounds like you were using a plugin to block/limit spam login attempts. * If this is the case; you are going to want to use FTP or your hosts cPanel to gain access to your file directories on your server. * Once there; you will want to browse to the “wp-content/plugins” directory… and rename the plugin folder that is giving you trouble.
