Just remove the link altogether.

I'm pretty sure no, but it will stop access so that the hacker will probably not be able to try SQL injections in the first place. (for the config file mainly).
But that questions should be directed to somebody who knows more about PHP and SQL, not me.

You can remove the Admin CP link via either the templates, or there is a plugin that does it.
But as long as you add the other two methods, it would work like this:
1) Hacker Finds Password
2) Hacker Eventually Finds Admin Directory
3) Hacker Needs to Crack Directory Password
4) Hacker Finds Password, but because IP doesn't match gets redirected back to the home page.
Unless the hacker can hack into your actual server and delete the .htaccess and password protection, the above is what will happen.
This works.. Just the IP THING wont work.. Like it redirects me to the page i put it even when i put my own ip.
The whole point of it is that if it ISN'T the IP that's there, then it will redirect you to that page.
So if you put your IP there, then it shouldn't redirect you.
Being that your IP address changes from time to time how would you go about getting back into it if and when your IP address changes?

Well, that would probably only work for non-dynamic IPs. For dynamic IPs, you'd either have to change it via the FTP every time, or simply not use it.
I have to admit that I'm a complete noob learning a little here and there. What is the difference between non-dynamic and dynamic IP's? How do I find the dynamic one that I need for the .htaccess?
Sorry for the stupid questions! lol

Dynamic IPs change every so often, static IPs (non-dynamic) stay the same.
