 * I switched service providers, with the new router, I can’t get on to my dashboard.
   Where do I reset that.

 * Thanks for the response. My problem is I restricted which I.P address can access
   the dashboard. With the new router comes a new I.P address. Any suggestions?

 * Use SFTP or FTP to change the IP address in your htaccess file if the rule is
   there. If your hosting provider set it up you will need to contact them.
