wp-admin Login page inaccessible after removing plug-in

    Hi there, we have an issue as of this a.m, as due to our site being hacked we had to
    delete / remove All In One WP Security & Firewall (as it was also likely hacked as was non- functional in the dashboard).

    Now we can’t access the previous ‘hidden’ wp-admin page we made with the plugin or the default /wp-admin.

    I can’t see any reference to entries in our .htaccess file such as the below
    we can edit/ remove etc

    # BEGIN All In One WP Security
    # END All In One WP Security

    Seems like this has broken something somewhere else causing the login page(s) to be lost.

    Hope you can help ? Thanks greatly

    When we go to any of the wp-admin urls we get a page with the following >>

    403 Permission Denied

    You do not have permission for this request /wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sitename.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1

    i.e: the following issue: I can’t login either at the custom url or at /wp-admin. What happens is that trying to go to /wp-admin throws a 404 error page and logging in at the custom URL does the same thing.

    and logging in at the custom URL does the same thing

    I though you said you removed the aiowps plugin? If not, you can temporarily deactivate the aiowps plugin by renaming its folder using FTP.

    What happens when you go directly to yoursite.com/wp-login.php?

    Do you have a caching plugin?

    yes, have removed the aiowps plugin.

    if i go to: yoursite.com/wp-login.php i get a page with >>

    403 Permission Denied

    You do not have permission for this request /wp-login.php

    I don’t think we have a Do you have a caching plugin, no.

    maybe jetpack does this (?) have tried disabling all plugins also

    thanks for replying here – much appreciated

    May be the fault of hack on site as opposed to aiowps – web dev friend advised me to remove all the security plugins as they seemed to of been hacked as when I tried to access them in the dashboard I got the same “403 Permission Denied” page

    can access site via ftp and I’m wondering if there’s something I can edit in there with text wrangler to get the default login page back
