 * Being very clever? I thought it a very good idea to use the White Listed IP address.
   Low and behold it would appear that my IP address shown in the plugin box within
   WP Security is a dynamic one!
 * As you can imagine I’m now locked out of my own websites. I’ve ftp access and
   backup .htaccess and wp-config.php files on the server. Please can you if I can
   recover by moving these files to my current IP address.

 * Correction, last sentence:
 * Please can you advise if I can recover by modifying these files to my current
   IP address.

 * Managed to access WP-Admin after removal of plugin by FTP and modification of.
   htaccess
 * However .htaccess insists on re-writing itself which results in logout from wp-
   admin going to a page with error message:
 * Forbidden
    You don’t have permission to access /wp-login.php on this server.
 * Please can you advise on how I can get to my original config before installing
   this plugin. I’ve used AIOWPS on other sites which will also need similar attention.
