Can't access wp-admin issue with .htaccess

Hey there,
How are you doing?
I have read all other related posts and tried all the methods and I still have no luck getting access to the wp-admin page. When i try to login, I get a 403 “Forbidden : You don’t have permission to access /wp-admin/ on this server.” Message.

Here’s what i have done so far.

1: Disabled Plugins via Phpmyadmin.
2: Changed theme to defailt.
3: renamed themes and plugins folder.
4: Deleted .htaccess – This results in a 403 displayed at the homepage, although when placed back, the website is live but the wp-admin still gives a 403.

I believe it has something to do with the .htaccess file?

Here is the htaccess file:

# BEGIN W3TC Browser Cache
<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
    <IfModule mod_headers.c>
        Header append Vary User-Agent env=!dont-vary
    </IfModule>
    <IfModule mod_filter.c>
        AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css text/x-component application/x-javascript application/javascript text/javascript text/x-js text/html text/richtext image/svg+xml text/plain text/xsd text/xsl text/xml image/x-icon application/json
    <IfModule mod_mime.c>
        # DEFLATE by extension
        AddOutputFilter DEFLATE js css htm html xml
    </IfModule>
    </IfModule>
</IfModule>
# END W3TC Browser Cache

    RewriteCond "%{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/wp-content/cache/page_enhanced/%{HTTP_HOST}/%{REQUEST_URI}/_index%{ENV:W3TC_PREVIEW}.html%{ENV:W3TC_ENC}" -f
    RewriteRule .* "/wp-content/cache/page_enhanced/%{HTTP_HOST}/%{REQUEST_URI}/_index%{ENV:W3TC_PREVIEW}.html%{ENV:W3TC_ENC}" [L]
</IfModule>
# END W3TC Page Cache core
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Help with this is really appreciated, I’ve tried almost everything suggestion out there and nothing seems to have solved the issue.

Thanks again!
