 * I added in the WordPress HTTPS (SSL) plugin and as soon as I did I got locked
   out from being able to access my dashboard! I went to the FAQ section for the
   plugin and it says to reset the plugin settings. It said to Go to /wp-content/
   plugins/wordpress-https/wordpress-https.php and uncomment (remove the two forward
   slashes before) the line below, or go to your wp-config.php file and add this
   line. Hit any page on your site, and then remove it or comment it out again.
   
   define(‘WPHTTPS_RESET’, true);
 * My question is, to access the /wp-content/plugin/wordpress-htpps/wordpress-https.
   php where do I go? Is this something I have to do via FTP?

 * Yes. You will need to download that file, open it in a plain text editor, make
   the necessary changes and re-upload the amended file to the same location.
