 * I logged into the dashboard and noticed there was an unauthorized user that I
   would like to remove but not sure exactly how.
 * I’ve never seen this user before and did not authorize this user to use my site.
 * How do I remove this person?
 * I would attach a screenshot but not sure how I can do so on here.
 * I am using IMG.
 * Here is the screenshot: [http://i.imgur.com/pWNUPXS.png](http://i.imgur.com/pWNUPXS.png)

 * Hi,
 * That looks like it is under the failed logins section so none of those users 
   have logged in successfully. It looks like a bot just trying to using a random
   name to login so there is nothing you can to remove. Am I assuming correctly?
 * Thanks,
    Brian

 * Yes, exactly.
 * How do I remove this bot (username)?
