 * After clearing my cache this morning, I forgot my login password (accidentally
   deleted all saved passwords when deleting history). After three attempts, I am
   now getting this message when I try to enter the site login page:
 * “unused
 * The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to
   complete your request.
 * Please contact the server administrator, [webmaster@thriftycanadian.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-log-in-to-wp-adminphp/webmaster@thriftycanadian.com?output_format=md)
   and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done
   that may have caused the error.
 * More information about this error may be available in the server error log.”
 * I cannot access anything because I can’t get into my account. I don’t have wp
   downloaded on my computer. I have cleared my cache again and even rebooted the
   laptop to no avail. I’ve contacted my host but I’m sure they’re just going to
   say it’s not them it’s WP. (Story of my life)

   password.

 * Rename your .htcaccess in your FTP to something like .htcaccessold
 * This did the trick for me
