What can I do, single IP..something like that, suggestion ?. Thanks in advance.
If you want to restrict access to the admincp by ip address add an .htaccess file to the admin (or the renamed admin directory) and add this:
order allow, deny
deny from all
allow from your.ip.goes.here
Where you need to replace your.ip.goes.here with your IP address.
^Additional info: That's only works with static ip.
You can also password protect the admin directory and rename it. This article details a few steps you can follow and the link Yaldaram provided (Admin CP Honeypot) is extremely useful too: http://wp.me/p1xd82-1M
