Issue Summary
I installed the customerror module and entered the wrong info in the configuration under error reporting for the 403 and 404 pages. Jumped ahead with instruction and didn't read right. Logged out to test my new pages and now I can't get back in. I get page not found when trying to log in. What can I do?
Here is my site

do you have any database backups you can import?
I always use the backup & migrate module to create manual and scheduled backups "just in case"
when I go to your site I get "site offline" so I do not know if that is part of your problem, or if you put it in offline mode for your work
I'm not familiar with the customerror module, but you should be able to edit the database table(s) for it using phpmyadmin or another tool to unlock your site. If the module modifies the settings.php file, perhaps you can restore a backup of that.
Have you tried deleting the customerror module folder?
You might want to try mirroring your site to a localhost installation on your computer, exporting the database and testing there, to make sure you don't make matters worse.
Another crude tactic may be to back up your database, empty the db and install a default database for whatever version you are using - but you would lose all your settings and content... you could then reinstall the tables from the backup required to restore your site...

Just go into the database using phpMyAdmin or mysql command line.
Then find the table called variable and delete the rows that have "customerror" in the name column.
Then find all the tables starting with "cache" in their name and empty them.
You should be able to go back to your site now , and do things properly.

Hi There
There may be some help for you in the handbooks

I think you can change your log-in status in the database just by changing log-in staus from 0 to 1
Hope this helps
