 * How long do I have to wait before I can access my wordpress again?
    Everytime
   I go to mysite.com/wp-admin it shows: WordPress administrator area access disabled
   temporarily due to widespread brute force attacks.
 * Or is there a way to get around that? This is the first time that happened.

 * You need to contact your hosting company – WordPress.org has no control or information
