Hello, dear developers!

Can you please help.

When I want to enter backend or frontend I need to enter login and password which created by Admin Panels and then I can go to Joomla admin page to enter Joomla admin login and password.ย 

How can I disable that first login place?

ย 

and one more problem I cannot enter to my website via front end too.

Hello,

please take a look at this page of the documentation, it will give you some info on why you're seeing the extra username/password coming up on frontend and how you can disable it: https://www.akeeba.com/documentation/admin-tools-joomla/atadminpw.html

Thank you

I tried to remove password protection but it shows this:

The security token did not match. The request was aborted to prevent any security breach. Please try again.

Here is the screenshot:

First of all, you can manually remove (or rename) the .htaccess and .htpasswd files in the administrator folder to disable the extra protection layer.

This message comes directly from Joomla, it seems that the security token that is sent is not the one expected by Joomla itself. Is your website behind a proxy or there's a CDN deployed (like CloudFlare)? In that case you should exclude the administrator area, otherwise you'll get unexpected results.

Thank you. I removed it manually.One extension developer asked to do that so he could check some issues.

If I want to return Admin Tools protection, how can I enable it again?ย

If you renamed those files, you can simply rename them back to the original name. Otherwise you can use the interface to create the file again. I just ran a quick test and I was able to replicate the "security token" error, this only happens when you try to remove the protection, so you should be able to enable it again.
