 I have followed the instructions in these dox (which seem to be talking about entirely different things):

None of these fixes allow me access to the admin and I am redirected to the frontend. Yesterday I could get in. I think I updated Admin Tools to the latest version while in yesterday, but didn't change any setting if I did. I have just realised over the last couple of days that my ISP does not give me a static IP and that has recently changed.

Yes, those two pages are talking about two different ways of protecting the administrative side of your site. With the first, you will be presented with a user ID and password request different from Joomla!'s login screen. With the second, you will be redirected to the front page of the site.

If you have renamed the main.php file, you may still be redirected if your host has a site level cache in place or if your browser cache is holding the renamed main.php in memory. Clear your caches and you should be able to get back in.

Yep, it was the cache, thanks. Chrome catches me out from time to time. It's a long while since I have used FF regularly, but I remember it seemed to handle cache much better than Chrome. Maybe that's just fuzzy memory too!! LOL!

You are welcome! I'm glad you got it working again.
