# [Plugin: WP Security Scan] Cannot Access Admin

 * Hmmm, I installed the plugin. I had to manually change the table prefixes and
   the config file. Then I change the admin login, which forced we to log in again.
   I was redirected to the WP-security-scan page. But now I cannot access the admin
   dashboard at all. I changed the admin login back to admin and still no success.
   It also reported I had no .htaccess file in wp-admin. So I copied one from another
   installation and modified the AuthUserFile setting accordingly. Having .htaccess
   present or absent makes no difference.
 * Any ideas?
 * Thanks

 * Corrected the issue by reading your code and updating three records in the database.
