  If you have put your site into maintenance mode, but have forgotten your access code, follow the steps below to retrieve it.

  To retrieve your access code:

  1. Login to your server with an FTP client.
  2. Open the file "/application/settings/general.php" with a plain text editor such as Notepad or Wordpad.
  3. The file will look something like this:

  defined('_ENGINE') or die('Access Denied');
  return array (
    'maintenance' =>
    array (
      'enabled' => true,
      'code' => '[ACCESS_CODE]',
    ),
    'environment_mode' => 'development',
  );

   

  Your access code should be located where the "[ACCESS_CODE]" placeholder is above. Copy the code from your file, and use it to access your site.

  Note:

  Your Maintenance Mode Code can be configured and recorded from your General Settings page, for future reference.
