How To Get Your Drupal Site Out of Maintenance Mode

After getting hit with some serious forum spam I put my one Drupal site into maintenance and forgot about it for a couple of weeks. When I came back to update it to the newest Drupal version I found that I had been logged out and no longer got a menu with it in maintenance. I knew that in WordPress I could add /wp-admin/ to the URL to get to a login screen but I didn’t know the equivalent for Drupal.

To log into your “under maintenance” Drupal site simply append /?q=user to your address

http://www.yoursite.com/?q=user

From there you can log in and take your site out of maintenance mode, or apply whatever tweaks you need to perform.

    If you are using clean url just add user without ?q=
    so you write
    http://www.yoursite.com/user
