 * Hi
    Working with iThemes Security was over a couple of weeks great. Two days 
   ago I changed the wp-admin login within the plugin of iThemes Security and – 
   so silly – I hadn’t stored the new url-name. When I try to open my website [http://www.lemmoney.info](http://www.lemmoney.info),
   everything works fine. When I try to open …/wp-admin or …/admin, I always get
   a 404 error. I am unable to login to my dashboard. I restored all the WP-programs
   from my last backup previous to the admin-change which worked perfectly, but 
   I discovered the same situation: access to dashboard denied by 404 error. When
   I am looking to .htaccess I wonder to find no code which refers to admin login.
   The content of my .htaccess-file consists of three sections. 1) Ban Users, 2)
   Tweaks, both being part of my iThemes Security plugin, and 3) WP with some rewrite
   rules. When I deleted the whole .htaccess nothing worked at all. When I reinstalled
   the WP-section, the website worked again, but not the dashboard. Searching via
   google and searching the posts, I couldn’t find a solution yet. Please help. 
   Many thanks in advance. Carlo
