Hello, I am facing the following problem. I installed wordpress through one click installation. Then I installed shield security plugin. I enabled google recaptcha through that plugin. But Keys were not properly set. I am locked out of site. I couldnot login into my wp admin base.
I found this solution. https://icontrolwp.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/3000000959-i-m-locked-out-of-my-own-site-
So I can either change folder name or create additional folder in that directory. How do I do that using ssh ?

Hi @matam,
You are perfectly correct, you can SSH to your server, go to your applications folder
cd /path/to/file
and disable the plugin by renaming the folder
cd wp-content/plugins/
mv FoldersOfPlugin to FoldersOfPlugin-old
See if you can access your website now.
Regards, Kalin
So if I Rename it back to plugins then will they be activated?? (i guess not) . How can we activate it back again with same ssh commands without wp-cli
