# Login Error: Captcha Loop

 * Today, when trying to login to my WP admin, I entered my username, password, 
   answered the ‘prove your humanity’ math problem, then was directed to the Captcha
   screen/dialogue box as usual.
 * BUT… when I entered the Captcha text, it kicks me right back to the login and
   repeats over and over. I can’t get in.
 * I have no idea what to do next, or how to login.
 * Any help greatly appreciated.
 * Please bear in mind I am a complete technical novice. Please spell out, step 
   by step, any advice you may have.
 * THANKS so much!

 * you can disable the plugin by renaming the plugin folder “wp-limit-login-attempts”
   in wp-content/plugins/ via FTP
 * try contact the plugin author for the issue

 * Thanks so much.
 * Where do I go to rename the plugin folder, though? Do I go to my hosting company?
   Where do I find FTP?
 * Sorry; I just don’t know how to do what you’re asking me to.
 * Thanks for your help!
