Actually it will never go hidden.  It is always there, so whoever
clicked gets 403.

I was hoping to avoid Block solution since it takes up space.

During my researching, I found menu_per_role module, which requires
menu.inc patch.  Without this patch, menu also doesn't go hidden as I
tried.  Patch is new to me so I read docs and watched a video tutorial. 
After backing up everything, I applied the patch to my local dev machine.

After running the patch, I CAN"T LOGIN!!!!
Not even from other machines on my LAN.  Logging in silently fails.  If
I try to login from /user page, I get 403?!!

After cleaning browser cookies and caches, I first run Restore Patch
command.  No effect even though I see menu.inc did go back to the same
number of lines before patching.  I restored the directory.  No go.  I
restored the database.  Still no go.

What do you do when you can't login?  I am glad this isn't a live site,
but I am loosing my mind.  Please help.
