403 Forbidden. I Cannot Access The Administrator.
edumarinho
Hi
When I try to access the website administration, I get the following message: Forbidden You don't have permission to access this resource. Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
If anyone knows how I can fix this, I would be very grateful.
The website is working, but I can't access the admin panel.

Accepted AnswerHi,
This is typical question for : forum.joomla.org
Problem can be caused many reasons, also used Firewall component.
If yesterday (or 2-4 days ago) all was OK, ask hosting support to recover the whole site from backup. It will be the quickest solution, no cost.

Accepted AnswerDelete /administrator/.htaccess.
These hacks often create .htaccess files that deny access and shouldn't be there.
Firewalls and malware scanners may also detect additional malicious .htaccess files elsewhere on the website - worth a check.
