Once I was able to log-in, I changed the path from wp-admin to another directory, using a plug-in. When I log in to the back-end, the SAME IP address is reported as having logged in successfully. It maps to a googleusercontent.com IP, which is definitely not me, and matches the unsuccessful attempts to hack the admin.
So why is WordFence reporting that I am logging in using an IP address that continually tries to log-in, and is clearly not MY IP address?
Additionally, if I block that user IP at the host, it blocks me from logging in as well.
]]>help anyone?
what am i doing wrong?

]]>BPS is not network activated, only activated on primary site. Hotlink protection is disabled on server. File permissions have not been changed (public_html/ and wp-admin/ are both 0755 and files are 0644). I have deleted .htaccess from both public_html/, and wp-admin/ but this hasn’t resolve the issue. Interestingly the WP admin toolbar is still visible upon viewing the website (i.e. I still seem to be logged in as super admin) but there is absolutely no functionality in it — everything results in above error message — except for viewing the primary website, yet neither of the other two network sites frontends are visible, resulting in 404 Not Found errors.
I am using SSL for login and admin. wp-config.php was sitting above /public_html/ and all was working fine before. I have moved it to public_html/ but still no joy.
Tried to unlock user account with bpsunlock.php, but get this message:
Connected To Database: localhost Successfully.
The User Account has already been unlocked or the User Account Does Not Exist.
Host is Net Origin (netorigin.com.au), Apache Linux server.
I am totally locked out of the admin area.
Any suggestions?
]]>For the past 4 days, I have been locked out of my website. I go to log in and it tells me – ERROR: The password you entered for the username [ redacted ] is incorrect. Lost your password?
I change the password – still no good.
I change the password with my host – still no good.
It is driving me insane and no one seems to know what is wrong with it. Is it possible that I am locked out via wordpress?
Thats for your help in advance.

]]>Have changed the PW via phpMyAdmin 3 times now and it still won’t let me log in. It’s not only the admin but my regular user account as well.
Appreciate any ideas / suggestion.
