 * I used WPS hide login to get rid of the wp-admin extension. But when changing
   back to wp-admin i can’t login to my website. I cleared the browser cache and
   with Nitropack the WP cache. Nothing works. This is my fourth restore of a backup
   as result of not working WPS hide.
 * What’s goin’wrong here?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fchanging-login-name-2%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
