00:00:08.087 --> 00:00:10.147
At some point it's bound to happen

2
00:00:10.351 --> 00:00:13.337
 you manage to lock yourself 
out of your own website.

3
00:00:13.875 --> 00:00:15.875
But don't panic it's a really 

4
00:00:15.875 --> 00:00:17.875
simple thing to do to unblock yourself.

5
00:00:18.756 --> 00:00:20.756
To do this you will need an ftp 

6
00:00:20.756 --> 00:00:22.756
program or perhaps your host's

7
00:00:22.781 --> 00:00:23.928
 own file manager. 

8
00:00:24.528 --> 00:00:26.528
I'm going to use FileZilla.

9
00:00:27.050 --> 00:00:28.639
Connect to your site

10
00:00:28.746 --> 00:00:30.746
and go to wp-content

11
00:00:31.638 --> 00:00:33.638
plugins

12
00:00:33.919 --> 00:00:35.919
andmintoolswp

13
00:00:35.919 --> 00:00:37.666
app

14
00:00:37.990 --> 00:00:39.990
plugins

15
00:00:39.990 --> 00:00:41.406
waf

16
00:00:41.394 --> 00:00:43.394
admintools

17
00:00:44.137 --> 00:00:47.167
Here you will find a file called main.php 

18
00:00:47.901 --> 00:00:49.901
you should rename this to main

19
00:00:50.370 --> 00:00:51.519
dot php dot bak

20
00:00:51.986 --> 00:00:53.986
that will disable the blocking

21
00:00:54.070 --> 00:00:56.070
features of admintools for everybody

22
00:00:56.750 --> 00:00:58.750
Now you will be able to go 
into your website

23
00:00:59.464 --> 00:01:01.844
and remove yourself from the block.

24
00:01:02.035 --> 00:01:04.035
Return to our website

25
00:01:04.035 --> 00:01:05.842
refresh the screen

26
00:01:05.842 --> 00:01:07.842
and once you have the login screen

27
00:01:08.178 --> 00:01:10.178
go ahead and login as usual

28
00:01:11.312 --> 00:01:13.312
and then go to the admintools plugin

29
00:01:13.708 --> 00:01:15.708
We can now see a big

30
00:01:15.708 --> 00:01:17.708
red button that will let you unblock

31
00:01:17.691 --> 00:01:19.482
your ip address.

32
00:01:19.691 --> 00:01:21.691
Go ahead and click that.

33
00:01:23.550 --> 00:01:25.550
We now need to rename that file

34
00:01:25.592 --> 00:01:27.947
back to main.php

35
00:01:28.301 --> 00:01:30.301
Return to your ftp program

36
00:01:30.360 --> 00:01:32.360
and rename the file.

37
00:01:32.838 --> 00:01:34.838
Your site is now working normally

38
00:01:35.384 --> 00:01:37.384
blocking all the people doing naughty

39
00:01:37.510 --> 00:01:39.812
things but you letting you
back in.
