    Hi, if you have successfully changed the wp-admin path name, then you’ll require to login first with your login url, which will be /wp-login.php?hide_my_wp=1234 (default secret key if you have applied one of the pre-made settings).
    You can change this secret key from HMWP settings page and also change wp-login.php name if required. Let us know if any issue.

    In the screenshot above, the IDs are for logged in user. Please check the site in logged out state (HMWP is for hiding wordpress from frontend).
