 I've just downloaded an installed Admin Tools and Akeeba Pro backup and know I cannot get into the backside. It gives me the error "You are a spammer, hacker or an otherwise bad person" Help How do I sign in?

Well quit trying to hack the site! :-)

You can disable Admin Tools with the instructions here: https://www.akeebabackup.com/documentation/troubleshooter/atwafissues.html. That will allow you to log in to the site and investigate what is wrong. And clear the block on your IP address.

My guess is that you got redirected to the home page when you tried to log in to the back end. If so, that means you have the secret URL parameter set up, but you're not using it. Go to Web Application Firewall, Configure WAF, on the first tab, look at the Secret URL parameter field. If it is empty, I guessed wrong. If it has a value in it, you need to call your administrator log in with the URL www.mysite.com/administrator/index.php?secret, where "secret" is the value in that field.
