 * I recently took over content administration for a friend’s website and unwittingly
   updated a set of plugins today only to receive the following error: Parse error:
   syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in /home/content/41/8956841/html/wp-content/
   plugins/bwp-recaptcha/bwp-recaptcha.php on line 51.
 * I don’t have FTP access and the previous contractor has not yet responded to 
   requests to send that information. Any suggestions on how to access the site 
   to delete the recaptcha plugin update would be greatly appreciated.

 * Try [manually resetting your plugins](https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F).
   No Dashboard access is required, but you will need either phpMyAdmin (usually
   in your hosting provider’s control panel), FTP, or a file manage from your hosting
   provider’s control panel.
 * There is really no other way.
