2 Navigate to the plugin directory:
<pre>wp-content/plugins/easy-basic-authentication/class/</pre>
3 Locate the file:
<pre>easy-basic-authentication-class.php</pre>
4 Find the following line:
<pre>add_action( 'init', array($this,'basic_auth_admin') );</pre>
5 Comment out that line by adding a <code>#</code> at the beginning:
<pre>#add_action( 'init', array($this,'basic_auth_admin') );</pre>
6 Save the file and re-upload it to your server.
This will disable the basic authentication temporarily, allowing you to log in. Once logged in, you can adjust the plugin settings as needed.
