Hi
After i have installed admintools and run the wissard, i am being redirected to the frontend of my site when i try to acces my backend.
Why does that happen?

Best regards

It is working! Your site is so protected even you can't get in!

Kidding aside, you set a Secret URL Parameter during the wizard. This changes the URL for your back end login. You need to disable Admin Tools with the instructions here: https://www.akeebabackup.com/documentation/troubleshooter/atwafissues.html. That will allow you to log in to your site. Go to Web Application Firewall, Configure WAF, to the first tab. When there is a value in the Secrete URL Parameter field, you must call the back end login in the format:
www.mysite.com/administrator/index.php?SECRET
Where SECRET is the value in the field.

You can clear the value to turn off the feature or change the URL you use to log in.
