Dear Akeeba

I need your help. Since my webmaster installed Admin Tools Professional and Akeeba Onthos, I haven't been able to access the Joombla admin panel to manage retirum.cl.

Perhaps the problem is that I'm missing my IP address somewhere in the settings of your newly installed Joombla admin panel.

Where do I enter this? Is there a solution?

Best regards,

Luis F. Correa

You can use the instructions in https://www.akeeba.com/documentation/admin-tools-joomla/atwafissues.html to rename provider.php so that you can regain access to your site. You probably need to empty the Administrator Secret URL Parameter in the Configure WAF page.
