 * Hi.
 * For some reason I can no longer access my admin dashboard. My domain is [http://www.hcagarciniacambogia.net](http://www.hcagarciniacambogia.net).
   It looks like the wp-admin is redirecting to wp-login.
 * I have read the forums and have tried disabling plugins, htcaccess file etc –
   I even re-installed a fresh wp install and still I have the same problem.
 * Has anyone got any idea what this problem is and how it can be resolved?
 * Thanks

 * You need to contact YOUR hosting company.

 * Yea I have read about that but it is only redirecting me to wp-login. I get an
   annoying popup box and when i enter the correct credentials i still cant get 
   in. Is this one of the outcomes of the force attack?

 * Probably – where is your site hosted? Have you asked them?

 * Damn. Its @ 987mb which is a small web hosting company in the uk. Thing is my
   user name was set to admin but my password was very secure. I have gone into 
   the cpanel and changed my user name as a precaution. I cant speak to web hosting
   company at the moment as its still out of hours. Thanks for your help.

 * Just checked my other WP site and thats showing the same problem. It is clear
   that this is because of the brute attack. Oh dear

 * It doesn’t necessarily mean anything bad has happened to your site – and in fact,
   your site seems to be working fine. Many hosting companies have tightened down
   access to keep the attacks from getting in – and in some cases that means users
   can’t get in either. Unfortunately, we don’t have any more info than you do 🙁–
   it’s frustrating for sure.
 * Of course, it’s always possible that it’s something else, but everything points
   to this, so check with them and see what the situation is on their end.
 * EDIT – just saw your last post – yeah, it’s a rough situation for everyone. Most
   of all, it’s horrid that people do things like this in the first place…sigh.
