Hello Team Akeeba!

 

I know this is my fault, but I need your help.

I am using Admin Tools to secure my site, but for reasons unknown to me, the credentials no longer work. I am sure I did something or didn't do something, but I would appreciate some quick advice.

 

Many thanks in advance for any help.

 

Best,

Hello,

don't worry, there's a pretty easy solution for that, please take a look at this page of the docs: https://www.akeeba.com/documentation/admin-tools-joomla/admin-pw-protection.html 

If you wish to remove the password protection you can either remove both the .htaccess and .htpasswd files from your administrator directory, or click on the Remove Password Protection button.
