Imported Settings Locks Me Out of Site

    Hello,

    Silly mistake on my end and I imported settings from another site with a different captcha key combination. Naturally, it proceeded to lock me out because the error in the captcha prevented a log in.

    I can disable to plugin, but I can’t activate it in order to make the necessary changes in the settings.

    Deleting and redownloading results in the same incorrect settings being applied from before. (probably still stored in the db)

    Any ideas on how to edit the plugin’s captcha setting while it’s deactivated? Or at least have the plugin install with default settings when it’s redownloaded?

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    If you don’t want to loose your other settings, you can try the following steps.

    1) login to your DB using PHPMyAdmin
    2) Go to the wp_options table
    3) Look for the entry which has option_name equal to “aio_wp_security_configs”
    4) Copy the option_value and paste it in a text document in case you need to restore this if something goes wrong.
    5) Then inside the option_value search for the following string: s:27:”aiowps_enable_login_captcha”;s:1:”1″
    6) Change the above to look like this: s:27:”aiowps_enable_login_captcha”;s:0:””, Note: s:1 was changed to s:0 and “1” was changed to “”.
    7) Save your table row.

    The above will deactivate the login captcha. If you run into issues simply paste the string you saved before you made any changes and save the DB row and then you will at least restore the aiowps settings back to the original state.

    If the above does not help you or it is too much for you, check the following documentation.

    Kind regards.

    To disable captcha in the DB:

    Go to phpmyadmin
    search in wpXX_options table
    “option name” like aio_wp_security_configs
    where it says:
    “aiowps_enable_login_captcha”;s:1: “1”;
    put:
    “aiowps_enable_login_captcha”;s:0:””;
