Error 404 Not Found

I’m experiencing Error 404 Not Found on my website. I’ve started to follow online instructions to try and fix it and first tried resetting the WordPress Permalinks which did not work.

The next step in the instructions is to restore the .htaccess file, but I’m unsure of which part I need to change. Can someone please help me and tell me what needs editing?

This is the contents of the .htaccess file:
