There are sometimes when you want to log into your wordpress admin, but you are not able to get in. When you try to login you see messages like ” the user account has been locked “. Now, this issue can happen because of many reasons.

1. Incorrect Password Issue: Double check your login information which you are using to get into wordpress admin.
2. Lost Admin Privileges: Maybe your user account no longer has “Administrator” rights. Often this happens due to a hack. Hackers would infect your site, and then delete your admin privileges.
3. PHP or Syntax Error: These PHP errors usually happen when you are pasting the code from a website. Often beginners use the built-in WordPress editor from their dashboard. The built-in editor is very useful but only for those who have experience in working with wordpress core and PHP. We recommend not to use the built-in editor if you are a beginner.
4. Error Establishing Database Connection: If your database is not connected to the server you might be getting this error. We recommend you to get in touch with us to get it fixed ASAP.
5. White Screen of Death: If you are experiencing White Screen of Death on the front-end then it’s possible that you might not be able to get into the wordpress admin panel.
6. Plugin Issues: This can also happen because of the plugins you are using. Maybe any of the plugins got corrupted and not allowing you to get inside wp-admin.
