 * Hi DCRogers,
 * Every once in a while I’ve seen another plugin interact with maintenance mode
   in such a way as to disallow admin access as you’ve described.
 * The most surefire way to resolve the situation is to delete Easy Pie Maintenance
   Mode by doing the following:
    * Go into your web host file manager * Then go 
   into the wp-content directory * Then within there the plugins directory * Then
   highlight and delete the easy-pie-maintenance-mode directory.
 * I’d recommend after doing this that you look check out your other plugins to 
   see what other plugin may be interacting in such a way – these are usually plugins
   involved in redirecting URLs. The reason that this is important is that other
   maintenance mode plugins may exhibit the same problems even if you decide against
   re-installing Easy Pie Maintenance Mode.
