I have entered something wrong in the System Configuration / Basic Directory section of your page. Since then I keep getting an error when I try to call the .htacess generator. How can I solve the problem.

So I did the following wrong.
In .htaccess Maker under System configuration in the Base directory of your site field, I wrote an incorrect entry
and since then I've had a problem getting into .htaccess Maker. I then immediately get the 403 Access Denied error.
I should only have to delete the entry I entered in the Base directory of your site field. But how do I get it done.

Replace the contents of your .htaccess file with those from Joomla's htaccess.txt. This "resets" your .htaccess to the minimum that is recommended by Joomla. Log out of your site and then log back in. You should be able to access the .htaccess Maker again.

The problem still exists.
That was not the solution.

Are you using the Master Password feature? If you do and it's set to protect the .htaccess Maker, you need to enter the master password before trying to use this feature.
Are you logged in as a Super User? If not, your user may not have the correct permissions to access this feature.
Have you tried logging out and back in again?
