Title: default admin login page? Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # default admin login page? * Resolved [Majklas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/majklas/) * (@majklas) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/default-admin-login-page/) * I’ve just installed this plugin. Hit create backup (luckily had from wp-backup plugin) and nothing happened-no email at admin email, just new buttons with “ secure from basic attacks”. I changed strong password authentication to editor from admin and then I hit save button. Strange things then heppened, I was logged out, red baloon in wp login aread was empty and wp-admin nor wp-login.php no longer worked.. Any ideas? * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/better-wp-security/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/better-wp-security/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 20 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/default-admin-login-page/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/default-admin-login-page/page/2/?output_format=md) * [gh0stshell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gh0stshell/) * (@gh0stshell) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/default-admin-login-page/#post-3791677) * try admin, but if you can get to the login page the hide backend feature is not turned on. * the blank red error window will occur if you are using SSL on your login page * you may have to FTP in and delete or rename the plugin folder * Thread Starter [Majklas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/majklas/) * (@majklas) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/default-admin-login-page/#post-3791684) * thank’s for a reply..

Usually it will be: [http://www.yourwebsitedomain.com/](http://www.yourwebsitedomain.com/)** login** * Add “/login” at the end of your website address. This this how this plugin works, you should read all the instructions before you click the “Save Settings” button. * [@gh0stshell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gh0stshell/) Sorry to interrupt. Renaming or deleting the plugin folder is not the good thing to do for this case. It might make thing worse. * Thread Starter [Majklas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/majklas/) * (@majklas) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/default-admin-login-page/#post-3791696) * 1. I’ve renamed that folder to _plugin-name <- no luck 2. [http://judesiukas.nereal.us/login](http://judesiukas.nereal.us/login) doenst’ work, says redirect cycle is found 3. htaccess are clean.. 4. I’ve restored my db from backup keeping old in other database, still no luck * any other options? damn, ran from attackers, and lost myself into abyss * [Handoko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/handoko-zhang/) * (@handoko-zhang) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/default-admin-login-page/#post-3791700) * You should renamed back the plugin to what is should be. You should not clean the .htaccess, do you still have the copy of it which have been altered by Better WP Security? If no, things will be different. * You restored the backup, it means now the database is not matching with your files (.htaccess, plugin files, etc) so everything become complicated. Why? Because what you should restore are database ** and files**. I don’t know why this plugin only suggest users to backup database. * You issue was very simple, by default (if you press the “secure from basic attacks”) it will change your login url to …/login. But now things become very difficult. * – Do you have a complete backup? Both files and database? You may restored your website but what you need are the **complete** backup. * – Do you have a copy of the .htaccess file which just altered by the plugin ( after installation)? * [Handoko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/handoko-zhang/) * (@handoko-zhang) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/default-admin-login-page/#post-3791702) * (no response?) * In many cases this may help you get access back to your website backend: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/after-log-in-screen-goes-blank](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/after-log-in-screen-goes-blank) * Good luck. * Thread Starter [Majklas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/majklas/) * (@majklas) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/default-admin-login-page/#post-3791703) * 1.
