Thank you both. I’ve had a play tonight and managed to get it to display the login window once – immediately after clearing my cookies and cache in a different browser and modifying .htaccess as suggested by @metamezzo.

I then entered username and password – and back to square 1 – error page and ‘too many redirects’. Upon opening .htaccess again I found it had rewritten itself to how it was before being edited:

<FilesMatch ".*\.(phtml|php|PhP|php5|suspected)$"> 
Order Allow,Deny 
Deny from all 
</FilesMatch> 
<FilesMatch "^(index.php|wp.php|plugin-install.php|mar.php|cong.php|about.php|install.php|xboom.php|mds.php|saiga.php|wp-admin.php|lv.php|content.php|zxl.php|fm.php|wp-booking.php|zeal.php|mar.php|)$">
Order Allow,Deny 
Allow from all 
</FilesMatch> 
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> 
RewriteEngine On 
RewriteBase / 
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L] 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d 
RewriteRule . index.php [L] 
</IfModule>

So something (I don’t know what) I causing .htaccess to be rewritten in a way that redirects.
Any suggestions on what to do next? I’m thinking this needs to be a support ticket to my webhost, but would appreciate any other ideas!
