# WordPress administrator captcha

 * Upon register or login, this pops up. It is confusing to everyone. There is no
   reason for such a thing to even exist. It asks for dwmm6c and the sum of 15+8
   to be entered, although it looks like a login prompt.
 * If I could get some info on how to make this go away permanently, I would be 
   grateful. I just switched all to WP and this is a deal breaker for some.

 * Additionally, this poorly constructed CAPTCHA ask for username and PW, which 
   almost everyone takes to mean their desired uname/PW if new registration or login
   info if already registered.
 * I would even settle for a reasonable, easy to understand CAPTCHA. Best case, 
   show me where in the code I can hack this out completely. I would be willing 
   to keep that as a SOP from now on to prevent this huge inconvenience.
 * THX!

 * Apparently, WebHostingPad made the message look more specific by the vwrbiage:
   “
   WordPress administrator CAPTCHA”
 * They corrected this and so far this sorry excuse for a CAPTCHA is now gone away!
