 * You can also reset the menu by uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin.

 * I messed up my settings also, and now when I try to login with my admin account
   it says “Forbidden”. I tried renaming the plugin file to disable the plugin, 
   but I’m still getting the “Forbidden” message when I try to login. Do I need 
   to delete the plugin file entirely?
 * *Edit* I just deleted the plugin files and it’s still saying Forbidden when I
   try to login. Great.

 * In that case, that “Forbidden” error is probably caused by a different plugin
   or setting. AME does not make permanent changes to user permissions. Deleting
   it would fix any problems it may have caused.

 * After speaking to my host I realized that they blacklisted my ip because, according
   to them, “my password was too weak and they thought my login was an attempted
   brute force attack”.
 * My password consisted of capital & lower case letters, special characters, and
   numbers, and WordPress indicated it was strong. Regardless, I thought that was
   strange.
 * I think it may have been because I was switching between my admin account and
   another account to test the user role settings. Have you ever heard of that happening
   before, out of curiosity?

 * No, I’ve never heard of something like that. It’s strange they’d blacklist your
   IP based on (I assume) multiple _successful_ logins. Real brute force attacks
   usually generate a bunch of failed login attempts.

 * I didn’t think that explanation made sense, but I wasn’t sure. There was a language
   barrier too, so that made clarifying things more difficult.
 * Anyway, thank you for your quick replies here! I have another question related
   to the plugin, but I will open a new ticket for easier maintenance.
