 * I was trying to set up SSL for my website (cloudfare) and after watching a tutorial
   I downloaded Really Simple SSL. I was not getting a positive outcome so I decided
   to click in a box that meant something along the lines of ( bypass security http…)
   and I am not completely locked out my website’s backend. The backend is http 
   but the browser / server automatically loads https .

 * Hi [@gus1976](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gus1976/),
 * I am sorry to hear this.
 * Most likely you clicked ‘override SSL detection and activate SSL’. This means
   that https is enforced even though Really Simple SSL did not detect an SSL certificate.
 * You can follow the steps mentioned in this article: [https://really-simple-ssl.com/uninstall-websitebackend-not-accessible/](https://really-simple-ssl.com/uninstall-websitebackend-not-accessible/)
 * Then you should generate an SSL certificate, or activate one via your hosting
   provider before you enforce https again.
 * I hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
 * Regards,
    Leon
