Description of my issue: Hi There
Sorry to bother you with this issue, but I cant seem to find a solution. Here is my scenario. I have a client that wanted to move his old website to a new domain. So I backed up the website using akeeba backup core. I then restored the website on the new domain (precisionpdr dot co dot za)I created a new database for precisionpdr dot co dot za before restoring the website.
On the old website I had Admin Tools Core loaded, and added a administrator password protect, which I have on file.
Now that the sight is restored, everything seems to be in working order, however when I try to access the administrator section it doesnt want to accept my administrator password protect details.
I have gone to the administrator file, to delete the htaccess and the other file you mention from the docs, but they don't appear there. I then created two black files and inserted them there, but nothing else happens, not sure if i am missing a step somewhere.
Would appreciate some assistance.
