Hi,
Check with these options:
-> Disable all the plugins and enable it one by one to find out the culprit
-> upgrade wordpress to the latest version
-> remove all unwanted code from htaccess
-> change the theme to default to rules out theme level problem
Thanks,
Shane G.
Shane,
I already have the latest WordPress version.
I cannot disable plugins or change the theme because I can’t get the admin page to open.
Other ideas?

Hi,
Actually, I’ve solved the problem for the time being by reinstalling WordPress. I can now log in and I have changed my password.
Suspecting a hack, I went ahead and deleted all the users (except myself “admin” of course)–there weren’t that many users so it’s not a big deal.
But here’s the thing. It says I have TWO admins but it only lists ONE, me. How do I detect this missing admin, and how do I fix it?
Thanks!

It’s essential that you clean up properly after a hack otherwise it will only happen again. Most hacks will attempt to leave a back door in place, so you do really need clean up afterwards.
Dear esmi, I have the same problem, and is solved by resetting the plugins folder… really appreciate your help. Thank you so much….
What I did were:
1. Rename the plugins folder to plugins.hold folder
2. Make a new plugins folder
3. Move/install the plugins I needed
4. And everything’s back to normal….
