    Hi, try the following URL it should help you reset all your settings again.

    Thank You! That worked like a charm. The only thing that took me a second to figure out is I just don’t have wp_options in the site database, I have wp_2_options, wp_3_options and so on. I guess because it’s a multisite, but, the main site should have been wp_1_options or wp_0_options, but those weren’t an option to choose.

    The all in one settings were in wp_2_options by itself, so, I just followed the video instructions from there and it worked. Then I FTP’d my backup of htaccess and everything works fine.

    I deleted and reinstalled the plugin. All the settings for the firewall still remained intact after I did so, but it looks like it disabled the advanced stuff for me. I was able to go in and change some other settings too right after I restored the old htaccess file.

    Its working fine and the plugin rewrote to the htaccess file for me with all of the rules, minus the advanced stuff.

    Once a month or so I have to re-ftp my htaccess file because the database eventually takes over and changes my htaccess file back to whatever settings keep hiding my admin. Its a multisite and I get tons of spam comments on my mapped domains when the firewall is off.

    The solution you gave me can be achieved way easier by ftp’ing the plugin out and coming back into the site with it disabled.

    I need to clear the database of all setting from this plugin, and not just temporarily disable the plugin.

    Hi, I am happy to know that you found a better solution than the one provided above. Does your solution help you resolve your issue in a much better way?

    Yes, it helps me deactivate the plugin and reset all settings faster and easier but something in the plugin keeps changing the htaccess file back to the longer file size one with the settings that lock me out of admin. Its doing it every hour now.

    After i have the plugin deactivated, I upload the smaller file size htaccess file with the basic settings and i can get to admin area again and i can reset all settings. If i network enable the plugin, eventually, something in the plugin changes the htaccess file to the larger size one and i am locked out of admin area again.

    I am going to try to keep it deactivated on the main site and just enable it on sub sites and see if that helps. If not, i’m gonna change the write permission manually on the hraccess file.

    Okay that sounds like a plan. Let us know how you go.

    I found a backdoor. The problem isn’t solved, but, it’s a work around. Login through a sub site with super admin, then admin area will come up for the sub site, then can go to main site admin no problem.
