when I re-install the plugin I am immediately blocked again
Have you tried the following:
1) deactivate the aiowps plugin by temporarily renaming this plugin’s folder using FTP.
2) log into the site wp admin panel normally
3) (Stay logged in to wp) and rename the folder back to original using ftp and activate the aiowps plugin
What happens when you do the above?
You should still be allowed to stay logged into wp admin panel.
Then all you need to do is to go to the Dashboard>>Locked IP Addresses tab and unlock yourself.

when I do that I need to “activate” the plugin which boots me out again immediately
I set a address slug on the tail end of my Domain;
and It worked fine yesterday, logged in with It a few times.
Now today” I can not get to my login page.
My address with the slug I created but
It dose not furnish my login page.
I believe I had It set to lock me out after attempting to
a few times which I have now exceeded.
I backed up my WordPress but where Is It??
I clicked on the backup DB In the all in one software.
and the other 2 as well – as suggested, to back up.
So unfortunately for me I think the only alternative Is to
log-in to my hosting completely erase my WordPress and reinstall It.
What a mess..I wish their was another way. AND – If I can not use
this all In one again, if It locks out my IP address”
I’ll simply have to try a different security-software for my new WordPress site.
In a word Bull____!!
WriterWreck7 and webdevmelb,
If lockout feature is giving you issues, then try the following:
1) use PHPMyAdmin to delete the table called aiowps_login_lockdown.
(you should then be able to log into worpdress)
2) then just to make sure that the table you deleted is created again, deactivate and reactivate the plugin from the plugins menu.

ok the above worked thanks – I can’t see where I can permanently whitelist an IP address?
@webdevmelb go to WP Security -> Brute Force -> Login Whitelist enable this feature and add your IP addresses there.
I can’t see where I can permanently whitelist an IP address
Just to be clear, the whitelist feature does not provide immunity to being locked out by the “login lockdown” feature.
When you enter one or more IP addresses in the whitelist settings this means that those are the only IP addresses which will be allowed to access your login page.
I am locked out..period…I’ve tried all above..no love
is a bit pissed, because I USED the CORRECT LOGIN URL and the correct password
the first time. Please tell me how to completely remove this piece of crap via php
without losing my wordpress. Yes I made a htaccess backup, but forgets where it was placed. Trying to locate it.
I REMOVED all the junk from the htaccess and replaced it with
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
I renamed the directory to old
I deleted the aiowps_login_lockdown`
I CAN NOT GET INTO MT DAMN WORDPRESS
OK I managed to get in by deleting all users on lockdown
and changing user password via php
Please tell me how to completely uninstall and COMPLETELY rid myself of all in one wordpress
security. Not going through this crap again.
I can’t ALLOW my IP address because it changes from time to time
Never mind
I deactiavted plugin & deleted it via wordpress
I deleted directory via file manager
I deleted all tables associated with it in phpadmin
I made a new htaccess
I have rid myself of this monstrosity
