 * Somehow I have managed to convince the plugin to lock out my IP address so all
   I see is a white screen – not even a login screen.
 * How can I fix this and also prevent it happening again?
 * The site address is [http://www.amyhelenbell.com/](http://www.amyhelenbell.com/)

 * Hi Mike, what you can do is the following, rename the plugin folder via FTP to
   something like **all-in-one-wp-security-and-firewall-temp**. Then log into your
   website again. Rename the plugin folder back to its original name. Enable the
   plugin and go to **Dashboard -> Locked IP Addresses** and unlock your IP address.
 * If the above does not work make sure that you try again the steps above but this
   time do not restore the htaccess file settings.

 * I tried that but then I couldn’t login – possibly because I changed the login
   details using the plugin?

 * Are you referring to the Rename Login Page feature under Brute Force?

 * Well then that is a different issue altogether. Try the following [documentation](https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/create-a-wordpress-admin-user-for-a-wordpress-site-via-mysql-6649).
   This will help you get back into your website.
