I just read your post and used that method to login, thank you.
I’ll figure out what to do about protecting the name.
The problem is that this is my admin account, I don’t post with it so the name should not appear anywhere and it’s not the default admin name.
Of note I did try these steps from the pinned topic but they did not let me in.
htaccess file troubleshooting steps: Unable to login into your website:
1. Use FTP or your Web Host Control Panel File Manager and delete the .htaccess file in your website root folder and the .htaccess file in your wp-admin folder.
2. Log into your website, click the BPS AutoMagic Buttons and Activate all BulletProof Modes. Or if you are removing BPS do steps 3 and 4 under BPS removal steps.
