heres a band aid solution for those who have dynamic ips and absolutely cant 'lock down' their admins to a specific ip... at least until the problem is resolved fully.

have your coder code up a small script:

w w w . d o m a i n . c o m /somesecretfile.php?key=somesecretkey

if the key is correct have it make the changes to allow the ip accessing the script to log into admin.

should take him about 15 minutes to code.

and security wise, even if someone found this file AND your key it wouldn't be a major compromise... all it would do is allow his ip to enter admin, nothing more... they would still need the password of course.

ciao.
