  Hello there,

  Your website does not seem to be hosted at WordPress.com, it’s a self-hosted WordPress site. You can learn the difference here: https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/

  The help we can provide is limited since we have no access to the site, you might get better help on the WordPress.org forums: https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

  The error you’re experiencing is common with security plugins. It is possible that you changed the wp-admin URL to something else. If you have any security plugins installed, you can temporarily deactivate them by renaming the plugin folder via FTP. That might solve the issue.
