 * I may be running wordpress 3.5.1, but not sure as I can’t access my website to
   see.
 * Someone please help me! I cannot gain access to my websites admin page.
 * [http://www.weatherwebb.co.uk/wp-admin](http://www.weatherwebb.co.uk/wp-admin)
   just brings up a blank white screen.
 * [http://www.weatherwebb.co.uk/wp-login.php](http://www.weatherwebb.co.uk/wp-login.php)
   brings up the log in screen, but as soon as I login it goes white and if I refresh
   it just brings the login screen back.
 * I think I updated a plugin when I noticed it not working (about 2am GMT Thursday).
   I can still post from my phone luckily, but I have no other way of updating my
   site.
 * I’m not great at WordPress so please reply in simple terms 😛
 * Thanks
    Sally

 * You’ll need to use FTP to deactivate your plugins to see if that IS the problem–
   rename the plugins folder:
 *     ```
       wordpress
           wp-content
               pluginsHOLD
       ```
   
 * If you don’t have FTP or Cpanel access set up, ask your hosting company for help
   with that.

 * Ok I have changed the plugins folder to pluginsHOLD and I can now access my admin
   perfectly fine!
 * Thank you! What should I do now, so that the plugins continue to work, but I 
   don’t lose access to my admin again?

 * Change pluginsHOLD back to plugins. Then re-activate your plugins one at a time.
   At some point, you will lose admin access again but now you will know which plugin
   is the problem one (ie the last one you re-activated). Using FTP again, delete
   this plugin’s folder inside wp-content/plugins.
