Due to the extremely high amount of distributed WordPress brute force attacks our servers have received over the past few weeks, we have had no choice but to block the file wp-login.php on our servers in order to maintain an acceptable level of performance.
Therefore if you attempt to log into your WordPress dashboard, you will be presented with an error:
Access is denied
In order to bypass the error and log into your WordPress dashboard, you can refer to our forum: http://community.hostmantis.com/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=299
Alternatively, you can contact our support team and we will assist you.
