 * I installed the Cerber Plugin yesterday on 2 Websites. Today I want to login 
   but get a 404 when try to enter “wp-admin” or “wp-login” (on both websites). 
   I have not activated the option to rename the login. Any idea?
 * I could use “wp-cerber-reset.zip” but I just want to know what went wrong, otherwise
   I can’t use the plugin because I need safety not unsafety.
 * I am 101% sure I NOT activated the option to rename the login.

 * Hi ps3hero!
 * Most likely you checked **Block direct access to wp-login.php and return HTTP
   404 Not Found Error**.
    To deactivate the plugin you could just remove the plugin
   folder by using FTP client or hosting control panel any kind, usually provided
   by hosting provider.
