Login Problems with wp-maintenance-mode

Hi,

The maintenance plugin is installed on my site; however, I can not log in. I have tried to log in via http://MYSITEURL.com/wp-login.php and it takes me to the login screen, but once I enter my password it takes me right back to the coming soon/landing page.

How can I get to my admin area?

Side note: The site is under construction, so I do not want to delete the plugin and expose my site. Also, the site has a custom landing page.
Please help.

THANKS!
