    Howdy…I’ve read some posts about this problem, but can’t login. It doesn’t tell me the username or password is wrong. It just refreshes the page and nothing happens. I can’t login to the admin panel or the public facing site. I changed my password in the database, but that didn’t work. I think I’ve been hacked already. I just finished the site 2 days ago and I’m getting a ton of spam registrations. Now I can’t get in. What a nightmare. Any ideas for getting control of my site back and then protecting it?

  • Did you make sure that when changing your password in the db that you set the field to md5 before saving it?

    Yeah, I did that.

    It looks like this must have been a cookie issue with Firefox. I tried Explorer and I could get in. In Firefox it was redirecting me to the wp-admin login page. When I tried to login it would just redirect me each time. I thought it might be a cookie issue, but could not find where to clear that in Firefox (Feeling dumb here!). Tried Explorer and I got in.

    do you have js turned off in FF with the web developers add on?
