Posting your email address or asking others to contact you off forums is _really_ frowned upon here. This is to protect users and to prevent people from trying to solicit work or harvest email addresses from the forums. * Additionally, the point of these community-based forums is to help each other _in a public space_ so that the whole community can benefit from the discussion and any solutions proposed. Private discussions take this benefit away. If you would prefer a one-to-one discussion, please try [http://directory.codepoet.com/](http://directory.codepoet.com/) or [http://jobs.wordpress.net/](http://jobs.wordpress.net/) * In the meantime, can you login to your hosting account? * Thread Starter [clife](https://wordpress.org/support/users/clife/) * (@clife) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-access-wp-admin-40/#post-7500346) * I do apologize when you spell it out I understand the reasoning.

Its not something that crops up that often. * Now that you are logged into your hosting account, can to locate the file management tool your hosts probably have available for you to use? Or is there any tool available that is specifically for .htaccess management? * Thread Starter [clife](https://wordpress.org/support/users/clife/) * (@clife) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-access-wp-admin-40/#post-7500358) * Yes as I say I got the file manager and located the .htaces file * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-access-wp-admin-40/#post-7500360) * Can you view the contents of the file in a plain text editor, then copy ‘n’ paste the contents of that file here?
