  From the Stats page, look for a “WP Admin” button or link – it’s usually in the top area or sidebar. Click that to go directly to your site’s dashboard (wp-admin).

  If you don’t see “WP Admin” anywhere, try going directly to margbartosek.com/wp-admin in your browser address bar. Do either of those get you to your dashboard?

  That confirms it’s definitely a security plugin blocking you! Since both Login Lockdown and SG Security can lock out users (even administrators), one of them is likely treating your login attempts as suspicious.
