 * maybe it’s just my stupidity but this is the second time I’ve tried securing 
   my blog with wp-security and the second time I’ve been locked out of admin by
   it. there is not sufficient documentation on what exactly to do when the initial
   scan wants you to use a different USER with different PERMISSIONS, consequently
   once you change the wp_prefix per wp-security instructions, you are then blocked
   out of admin.
 * I will be deleting this plugin if I ever get back into the site. If anyone smarter
   than me has figured out how to run this plugin successfully I’d sure love to 
   learn how.
