Description of my issue:

I cannot access the admin secret url to access my site (or the admin page either); it keeps showing my website's home page.  This is the 2nd time that I have tried.  I have followed the quick guide instructions to the letter and I did not find a ticket which address this specific problem.

Is there somehting that is amiss when following the quick guide ?  What is stopping me from entering my site ?

Thanks !

The first thing to do is to try some variations of the log in URL. Assuming that your site is www.example.com and your severt URL parameter is secret try the following:

If none of them works you have entered the wrong secret word. In this case, please follow our troubleshooting instructions to regain access to your site.

When I was writing the reply, saying that I had tried all 3 methods before and now, and that I had 1st thought that I had mis-typed the secret password, just to realize that I had written the "?" before the word, so I had to put a double "??" before the word ! 

I am so sorry !  It is human nature I guess, I saw the ? and I unconciously put it in.

Thanks you for time and fast reply !  You still helped figure out my mistake.  :)
