    I have 13 WP blogs. 10 of the 13 are fine, but 3 are having the same issue.

    Tonight I went through the process of updating them all to version 2.6.2. Some of the sites were having the admin/login issue exposed in 2.6.1, some had older versions and some were just not affected. The interesting part is, NON of my sites have the “anybody can register” setting set.

    So, on 3 of the sites I’m still not able to log in to the admin section. Here’s a list of things I’ve done:
    – Uploaded 2.6.2 files
    – Updated wp-config.php with the 3 new key values
    – Deleted a user from my database that showed up today that I didn’t create myself.

    When none of that worked, I tried some other things:
    – Set the db_version variable back a version to try and force a database upgrade. (never gets to the upgrade screen)
    – manually edited the admin password using an encrypted version from one of the other sites. (again, no help)

    At this point, my sites are all working properly on the front end, it’s just the admin sections that are fubar.

    Anybody have any suggestions? If you need me to further explain anything, please let me know.

    Thanks.

    @whooami – thanks. Unfortunately, it didn’t do the trick for me. I should have mentioned that I had already tried clearing both my cookies and cache along with restarting Firefox. I’ve also tried accessing the admin section using Chrome, which was the first time I had tried to login to that site using Chrome.

    Any other suggestions?

    I had tried to login to that site using Chrome.

    and what happens? specifically when using chrome? you dont tell us that in your post above, for any browsers.

    My bad. All three browsers, IE, FF and Chrome, have the exact same results: Attempt to log in with proper username/password and the login page reloads with no error message. Attempt to log in with incorrect username/password and the login page reloads with an error telling me I have an incorrect U/P.

    It was suggested to me somewhere else that I deactivate all my plugins (I did this by moving all the files out of the plugin directory in to a temp directory). I did that, then accessed the admin section, received the link to upgrade the DB, then logged in. Moved the plugin files back in place, and all was right in the world once again.

    @vegasgeek – I was having the same issue and you solved it with this:

    Great advice. Thank you.

    I wonder were if you had the WP Automatic Upgrade plug-in. I think that might have cause my problems.
