 * I was trying to download the latest versions for the plugins when my network 
   crashed. Then the page turns to be:
 * **Parse error**: syntax error, unexpected ‘:’, expecting ‘;’ or ‘{‘ in **/www/
   wwwroot/tymathdb.com/wp-content/plugins/password-protected/admin/admin.php** 
   on line **755**
 * There has been a critical error on this website. Please check your site admin
   email inbox for instructions.
 * Cannot fix this my own, need some help asap.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcritical-error-552%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * If you can access recovery mode (got email with prompt) – log in and remove/install
   again **password-protected** plugin.
 * If you dont have recovery mode prompt, use FTP or your hosting panel FILE MANAGER
   to remove folder /www/wwwroot/tymathdb.com/wp-content/plugins/**password-protected/**
 * This will disable problematic plugin, then you can log in and reinstall it again
