|The problem=So, recently, I upgraded my Recaptcha to Version 3 from 2 on one of my WordPress sites. But stupidly I didn’t update the keys in the Recaptcha fields before logging off the site. But, I needed to check Recaptcha before I logged in.<br />
<br />
So, I needed to disable the plugin without logging in.<br />

{{Faults<br />
|Device=Server<br />
|Operating system=Ubuntu<br />
|Software=Wordpress, Recaptcha<br />
|Guidance=To disable the plugin I logged into my cPanel, going into the file manager then navigating:<br />
public_html/wp-content/plugins<br />
Find the extension you want to remove, in this case just an example, I am going to deactivate loginpress:<br />
[[File:Disable loginpress 1.png|alt=Shows the cPanel located in the public_html/wp-content/plugins, the login press directory is highlighted.|none|frame|Disable loginpress cPanel]]<br />
Simply rename the directory to something like this:<br />
[[File:Disable loginpress 2.png|alt=This show the directory has been renamed to loginpress delete|none|frame|Change the extensions folder name]]<br />
You have disabled the plugin without logging in.<br />
