I can login when /plugins/system/admintools/admintools/main.php is renamed but am thrown to the website top page when not.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Jim

Rename your main.php so you can get into the back end and then go to Web Application Firewall, Configure WAF, on the first tab, look at the field Secret URL Parameter. If is has a value in it, you must call your back end login screen in the format
www.mysite.com?secret
Where "secret" is the value of that field. If you can't log in, think how much trouble the bad guys are having. To disable this feature, simply empty the field.
