For what it’s worth, I’ve resolved my issue. I had to rename the plugins directory (I used old.plugins). After that, when trying to login, I received an error saying my Database was out of date and needed to be updated. I clicked the “do whatever” button and 2 seconds later I was at my dashboard. I renamed old.plugins back to plugins, activated all my old plugins and everything’s working fine so far. Not quite sure what caused it, though. Hope this helps someone.

I’m having the same trouble. Mine started a couple of days ago. My wife was in the middle of typing a post, was logged out and, since, we’ve been unable to get beyond wp-login.php. It’ll recognize an incorrect login, but a correct login returns you to the username/password prompt as well. I’ve, since, upgraded to WP 2.6.3, but have seen no change. Coincidentally, my hosting provider is Dreamhost, also.
