This article lists 7 completely different ways to reset your password. Any one of them will work and do the job. Find the one that’s right for you and use that: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Resetting_Your_Password

I’m not familiar with that plugin/option. But if I’m realy locked out and nothing else works, I create a new password directly in the database (E.g. with PHPmyadmin)

You’re supposed to first encrypt your new password to a Md5 hash. E.g. with
https://www.miraclesalad.com/webtools/md5.php

And that generated MD5 hash can be placed in the database in: wd_users > (you) > user_pass

Save it and you should be able login again. (Unless that plugin uses an entire other login feature then WP by default does ?? )

Edit:
Steves reply above is much more complete. We were writing at the same time ??

Thanks for your quick response. Unfortunately the password in phpMyAdmin is just for the main wordpress login but it isn’t linked to the pop-up window login. Ideally I’d like to disable the pop-up all together, but I’m not sure how.

Oh, you mean an .htpassword login. It may have been added by a plugin — maybe your coming soon page plugin — or your host.

Try disabling the coming soon thing.

If you have FTP access, you could simply remove the plugin from the /wp-content/plugins directory. Wp is smart enough to notice an go without the plugin.
Once you have access again you can put it back and eventually de-install it the correct way.
