I added Protector and I think inadvertently blocked my own IP. In an attempt to repair I overwrote mainfile.php with the version before Protector installation. And I deleted the Protector module from my Xoops installation. I still cannot gain access, get a you are not authorized error message. I also uploaded at some point .htaccess but do not see that file on the server tree.

Will it be easier to reinstall Xoops and start from scratch?
