 * I clicked “Force SSL Administration” and now I can’t log in to WordPress. I get
   redirected to a login page, but none of my credentials work.

 * I tried this solution. Didn’t work.

 * Hey pdxmission,
 * The error you’re describing is caused by a bug in the plugin that’s not setting
   admin cookies correctly. After using WPHTTPS_RESET, you should be able to go 
   back to your regular admin URL and login.
 * If not, your other option is to go into the database and run this query.
    `DELETE
   FROM wp_options WHERE option_name LIKE 'wordpress-https%';`
 * This will wipe all options for the plugin, the same as WPHTTPS_RESET.
 * Thanks,
    Mike
