 * How do you update SSL (https)?
    Do you have any login/registration page plugin?

 * If you changed it and it broke, then change it back. Here’s how to do that when
   you don’t have wp-admin access:
 * [https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL](https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL)
 * Those settings are not arbitrary. They’re not “what you want the site to be”.
   Those settings are where you tell WordPress what the site configuration actually
   is. If you change them, then you have to first make the site actually configured
   in the correct manner to support what you change them to.
 * So change the settings back, work out what is incorrect with your site’s setup,
   then try again.

 * BTW, “You must log in to access the admin area.” is not a message anywhere in
   WordPress.
 * Consider that maybe you have a plugin causing your problems here?
