When I first installed the module I made some pages secure, and in some browsers when navigating between secure & non secure pages was constantly getting a message saying some page elements were secure and others weren't; these turned out to be images in blocks. To resolve this I tried re-uploading the images, although found that the default setting of making admin/* pages secure broke the image upload when using blocks admin, so to resolve that problem I disabled Secure Pages for admin/* I then started getting the problems just raised in http://drupal.org/node/1950344 and cleared cache, and now even when I log in as admin, I get access denied when going to any admin pages. So I can't even disable the Secure Pages module or anything. Disaster! HELP!

A possible work around.

Please backup your site and test on a restore before trying in production. If you just try in production without testing first and it makes your situation worse then you should not complain.

Delete the secure pages module at the operating system level. This will cause error messages but you should be able to then disable the secure pages module, uninstall it (to delete the bad settings) and then re-install it.

Go into your system table in the database and find the securepages record. Change the status from 1 to 0 to disable the module.

@MrPeanut BIG thanks for that, it has resolved the problem :)

@charlesjc Agreed, although the problem with this particular module is how do you test it on a non-production server when an SSL is installed per-domain and expensive and fiddly to configure?

I'm closing it because the issue was created a long time ago without any further steps.

if you still need it then raise a new one.
thanks
