Description of my issue:
I was reading the documentation for creating a new .htaccess file. As stated, I turned all the other options OFF except for all the options in the BASIC section are turned ON.
I saved and it created the new .htaccess file. Now I am banned from both the front end and back end. I deleted the .htaccess file via FTP and replaced it with my old one that I saved on my local machine. I am still banned. Moreover, a backup file (as stated in the documentation) was not created on the server.
PLEASE help.
