    Try manually resetting your plugins (no Dashboard access required). If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

    If that does not resolve the issue, access your server via FTP or SFTP, navigate to /wp-content/themes/ and rename the directory of your currently active theme. This will force the default theme to activate and hopefully rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).

    I got help from my ISP. He said he had an idea and went to work. Will get back here once I figure out what he did. I can now login, but it seems they messed up the character encoding so ?????? etcetera come out wrong. Please see: https://www.farm.se. That will have to wait. We’re going away over the holidays.

    The active theme is/was Twenty Ten. I think it is unmodified. Over the years, the need to modify has decreesed as WordPress has evolved.

    There were no active plugins and just make sure the plugins folder was renamed XX_plugins.

    Excellent, I’m glad they fixed it! It looks like your character encoding has been fixed too. ??

    My wordpress has just automatically updated to 4.1.4 and when I try to log in it asks “do you really want to do this? try again” and I can’t get out of the cycle.
    I know absolutely nothing about webstuff…I read some of the other answers, and wouldn’t know where to start with sentences like “update your plugins”…
    Desperate!!!
    Thank you…

    Same problem here.
    When trying to access /wp-admin it turns into /not_found and shows a 404 error.

    I’ve tried already changing the FTP permissions to 755 but doesn’t fix it.

    Thank you
