    Help! All of a sudden I’m locked out of my WordPress blog completely. Keep getting this 403 alert:

    Forbidden You don’t have permission to access /~1856379.2015579/htdocs/news/wp-login.php on this server.

    Never had a problem before and was about to add a new post. Now I can’t access at all.

    Thanks

    Try:
    – switching to the Twenty Ten theme by renaming your current theme’s folder in wp-content/themes using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides. You may need to access /wp-login.php to get this to kick in fully.

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin.

    Couldn’t switch the theme since I couldn’t access the wp-login.php page. Did reset the plugins folder via phpMyAdmin but that didn’t seem to resolve the problem.

    What finally worked was a cominbation of things 1. removing all of the WP files from the site via FTP and reloading them again 2. deactivating all plugins using phpMyAdmin with this from the codex:
    * In the table wp_options, under the option_name column (field) find the active_plugins row
    * Change the option_value field to: a:0:{}

    Thanks so much for your help!
