Without changing the variables, create a SINGLE conditional statement around the echo command that checks: That a $username is set. The users $role is NOT admin
<?php
$username = 'sketchings';
//Available roles: author, editor, admin
$role = 'editor';
//add conditional statement
echo "You do not have access to this page. Please contact your administratior.";

Hope this helps!
I would also like to point out to the Treehouse Staff that there is no closing PHP tag (I manually inserted it in my answer), and that 'administrator' is misspelled. Currently if you try to correct the spelling on your answer, it will say it is incorrect.
