A summary of what's around the forums.
Try to login after each step.
#1. Clear your cookies
Cookies are in your computer.
In windows they are in
C: / docs and setting / username / Cookies folder.
#2. Clear the temp cache on your computer
#3.Edit wp-login.php
Go to the "case 'retrievepassword':" section.
Just under the the comment:
// redefining user_login ensures we return the right case in the email
Replace:
$user_login = $user_data['user_login'];
with:
$user_login = $user_data->user_login;
#4. Your blog host should provide you with phpMyadmin access to your databases for you to do this.
Open phpMyadmin, and click on the users table in the left menu (it could be wp_users, or yourprefix_users)
Click "Browse"
Click on the edit button next to the admin user.
Delete whatever is in the password field.
Now go to http://bfl.rctek.com/tools/?tool=hasher
enter your desired password, and copy the hash that it generates
Paste the hash in the password field for admin
Save the info in the database.
Login to Wordpress using "admin" and the password you used to create the hash.

#1. If your host supplies an sql database, they usually also supply phpmyadmin as a tool for sql administration. It allows you to look inside, and alter, the database.
You could contact your host to see if it is available.
#2. In 1.2mingus, the line in question is number 204:
case 'retrievepassword':
$user_login = $_POST["user_login"];
$user_data = get_userdatabylogin($user_login);
// redefining user_login ensures we return the right case in the email
$user_login = $user_data['user_login'];
$user_email = $user_data->user_email; -

It means to *delete* this line
$user_login = $user_data['user_login'];
and instead, put this line in there:
$user_login = $user_data->user_login;
It does work - I've done it too. -

Posted 4 years ago #I ran into a similar problem running off an https server. After trying all the solutions on this page, I found the solution here: http://wordpress.org/support/3/6429 it seems you gotta make sure the cookies are set for https as well

If one has the e-mail turned off, is it still necessary to change the line under 'case retrieve password'?
I did change it, and I still can't login, but I was just curious.
Thanks. -

Podz's solution didn't work for me, but this one did. I guess my office uses secure HTTP while my home doesn't. -

Posted 4 years ago #unfortunately, after I replaced the original text password with the hashed one, this is what I get:
Database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'WHERE user_login = 'Joey' AND user_pass = '21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3'' at line 1]

I think the more feasible solution is to provide a method that prevents wordpress from hashing the password. -

Posted 4 years ago #I'm getting the same problem and I don't know what to do. I used this and it worked on my pc and on my mac, now on a different pc, it's not working. I tried this solution and the one mentioned here:
http://wordpress.org/support/3/6429
Can anyone recommend something to try? Is this a normal problem for Wordpress or did I mess up the installation somehow? -

Posted 4 years ago #Actually, I never installed a nightly build, only the releases. I tried what you suggested and it didn't work. If I install it again, will I lose all my data, registered users and posts? I don't want to start over. :(

Posted 3 years ago #Sorry to wake this thread up again. I recently tried to upgrade from Wordpress 1.2 to Wordpress 1.2.1 and encountered this problem, where on trying to log in I would hit a redirection loop. I've tried all of the above suggestions, and those in some other threads: http://wordpress.org/support/3/6429 http://wordpress.org/support/3/7229 and http://wordpress.org/support/2/9257
I also tried turning register_globals to On, but (thankfully) that made no difference either.
No success. This is not browser specific, and deleting cookies makes no difference.

Check the permissions on the files in /wp-admin/, they should be 644. Also, check the permissions on the directory /wp-admin/, they should be 755.

Posted 3 years ago #Hi, I had just installed WordPress (latest stable version) on my Linux host and was able to login at first. The next time I attemped to login using my new Windows XP machine and IE 6 I entered the correct details and the login screen refreshed but no admin and empty login details. I purposely entered an incorrect password and the dialog higlighted this error...correct password and a brief flash of the screen and still no longin!!! I followed all posts on the forum, but all to no avail. This morning I tried a different machine and hey presto, so I looked into IE settings and found that the Privacy setting in IE needs to be set to at least LOW before I am able to login. I hope that this post saves others the frustration!! Regards Andy

Posted 2 years ago #I had the exact same problem as Andy a few days ago. I could log-in on a different computer, but not the one I usually use (both run Windows 2000). After trying several suggested "solutions" without success, merely rebooting the computer solved the problem. Until then I could not log-in using Firefox or IE. As with many PC problems, rebooting is one of the first things to try.
WordPress powers our entire church web site - I love it!
