I am inexperienced in using Joomla and today I installed Admin Toos Pro shortly after installing a Joomshaper Quickstart. You must have done something wrong, because after you log out, you can not log in again using the address with the secret parameter.
I need to login to Admin Tools via FTP to disconnect to be able to access via / administrator.
I have already looked into the domumentation, but I have not found it. But I know there is this tutorial because I read it before.

The file is not under administrator. In the top level folder of your site there's a folder plugins. Inside it there is a folder system. Inside it there is the folder admintools. I think you get the idea :) You just need to start looking for the file on directory above administrator.

I understand why you are confused. When you access Joomla's /administrator URL you are loading the administrator/index.php. This loads files located in subdirectories of your site's main directory (especially the plugins and libraries directories), as well as files inside subdirectories of administrator. Joomla is a complex application. What is loaded is not 1-to-1 related with the URL.

I hope this information helps!
