    Yes, I watched and read. I removed All in one from the htaccess file and was able to get in. Then set it up again, then was able to log in. However a couple of days later the same thing happened, could not login just directed to the main page of my website. WHY does this happen?

    I also have WP Better security installed as well and I keep getting file change warnings as follows:

    Depending on your site’s setup, you have to be careful to ensure that you include “www.” if necessary or leave it out when typing your URL with the secret word.
    So in other words, you would have to try one of the following:

    www.yourdomain.com?yoursecretword=1

    OR,

    yourdomain.com?yoursecretword=1

    Also I forgot to add that you should check that your browser has the cookies enabled.

    This

    “www.yourdomain.com?yoursecretword=1”

    is a critical piece of information. I spent over an hour searching and trying different solutions

    .htaccess restore did not work btw. “question mark” secretword=1 is what it took. I don’t understand why …wouldn’t the secret word be enough?
