Hi, I Installed Admin tools, but now I can not access to my control joomla admin panel, as the system recognizes me as unwanted. How can I access to my control panel to disable admin tools firewall? thank you

The instructions to disable Admin Tools from FTP are located here: https://www.akeebabackup.com/documentation/troubleshooter/atwafissues.html. They will get you back in and let you fix whatever is wrong.

I can't rename the file because on my Linux Server, admin tools files ownership are of "www-data" user and group, while my ftp user is of "psacln" group

You will need to get your host involved. They can rename the file. That is the short term need to get you back into the back end of your site.

This problem will come up again. Not having FTP access to your site is a real pain. You can have your host change the ownership of all the files in the site to the FTP user, then set up Joomla!'s FTP layer in Global Configuration. That makes Joomla! access the files through the FTP user and keeps everything nice and neat. Joomla! works with the ownership and so can your FTP client.
