Good day, I am seeing the following messages in my server log file. See below. I am not aware of any reference to wordpress from my code. Has anyone else come across this? Thank you

Don't worry. These are just script kiddies blindly probing.

I have these too, and I can't log in to my admin

Those specific errors are generated when lazy hackers run scripts that look for likely hackable Wordpress installations, so you can just ignore them, as you are not running Wordpress.

Regarding not being able to log in to the admin -- you'll need to use your framework's mechanism to change the password for your admin user, and then log in using that password.
