Website access forbidden
10/08/23 Filed in: web browsers
For some reason I am getting this message from a website I have always had access to until today…. Yesterday, I had to close down this site from my phone because I accidentally opened up the recording at a time of quiet and tried to shut off my phone real fast… could I have pushed something weird to cause this to lock me out of the website? How do I recover access??

While there’s not much information to go on here, I do have a couple of ideas. Either you’ve been accidentally redirected to a website that doesn’t exist, the original site has disappeared, or you have a bad website address in your browser history and every time to think you’re going to the correct one, you are getting pushed to the incorrect one.
Several things to try. First, try typing the website name out that you are exactly sure of. Don’t let the computer fill the address in. For instance, if you were trying to get to www.amazon.com then you’d want to type it fully all the way to the last “m” in .com.
Secondly, clear your website history. This will all the browser to forget any previously misspelled domains. In Safari, you can do this under “History” in the menu bar, then choose “clear history”.
Lastly, it could be that if you’re using a bookmark, that bookmark needs to be updated as the web page may have moved locations and therefore the bookmark address may now point to nowhere.
There are many other things we can do to resolve it if these don’t help. I’m sure we can get to the bottom of it. If it continues to persist, feel free to schedule an online session and we can hit it.
