 * You need to disable that plugin as a test.
 * If you can’t access your admin pages, you’ll need to use an [FTP client](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients)(
   like FileZilla), or your host’s cpanel (or File Manager) and navigate to the 
   files on the server.
 * In your WP installation there, find `wp-content/plugins/broken-link-checker` 
   and rename that plugin’s folder to something like `broken-link-checker-hold`.
   That will disable it and hopefully allow you to get back into WP admin.
 * Don’t forget to first clear your browser cache and cookies before trying to log
   in again.
