 * Wordfence has blocked me from logging. I’m the admin!
    I tried renaming plugin
   in FTP! I tried renaming admin username and MD5 password string in phpMyAdmin!
   I have Clef installed and that doesn’t work! I cannot have password sent my email
   because Wordfence is blocking it! I’m it’s going to block my IP if it hasn’t 
   already!
 * Sheesh! How can I log in!

 * Use FTP or CPanel file manager to delete the Wordfence directory which is usually/
   wp-content/plugins/wordfence

 * Hi Fungoody, take a look at your .htaccess and search for your IP and remove 
   it from the list
