Help! How to remove askapache password protect?
Please help...you might be able to tell i'm slightly panicing!
I was following a guides step by step advice while setting up a new blog. And they suggested setting up askapache password protection.
Immediate problems....can't get rid of it.
Deactivated and removed...I keep finding these instructions
"If like me you install plugins without reading the instructions and browsing the source first, please be warned that once activated and a security module is also activated, you can easily lock YOURSELF out of your /wp-admin/ folder, in some cases you may even disable your site. The fix is easier than you can imagine. This plugin ONLY edits 2 files. The .htaccess file in the directory where your wp-config.php file is located, and the .htaccess file in the directory /wp-admin/. ALL you have to do to start over is to remove the obvious AskApache Section from those files. That's it. This plugin doesn't modify files, modify your database, modify your rewrites, it only modifies the server. If the following harmless tests are not successful, PLEASE prepare yourself by learning how to access your server files via FTP/SFTP/SSH/WebDav/WEbFTP/etc. so that if you do have a problem you can edit those 2 files and prevent downtime"
Easy! Except I have absolutely no file knowledge of files or where they are,what to do.
I spent hours searching the internet and i'm stuck...
Got this far:
Cpanel
File manager for root file
That is it....I don't know what to do
Sorry to ramble, thanks for any help.
