you should still be able to manually go to /index.php/login, regardless of your pretty URL settings.

The other thing you can look at is the config file at /application/config/generated\_overrides/concrete.php  
In that is a value ‘url\_rewriting’, you can set that to false manually if you need to.

Hello mesuva, thank your for your response. Thanks, it was the .php after the index. Now it works again, great 🙂
