 Hi Dale,

I made a mistake by set "Quick Setup Assistent" and forgot to add my IP address to the administrator IP whitelist
I was blocked out of my Backend.

I followed this instruction but the Web Application Firewall is still executing.
"Go inside the plugins/system/admintools/admintools directory on your site. You will see a file named main.php. Rename it to main-disable.php. This will turn disable the Web Application Firewall from executing and you can access your site's back-end again."

Whatelse do I miss?
Could you please help me to fix this problem?

This is my Administrator secret URL parameter:
http://www.parentstogether.net/administrator/?thongdoan

401 Authorization Required

Thank You for your help.

The user and password box that shows up is from the Protect Administrator Folder feature. You can disable it by deleting or renaming the .htaccess file in the /administrator folder. You can do that through FTP or via your host's file manager.
