   I'm having the same (or similar) issue. Here's what's going on:
   /wp-login.php type in correct username/password hit submit. Getting redirected back to wp-login.php with no error message.

   /wp-login.php type in INCORRECT username/passsword hit submit. Getting redirected back to wp-login.php WITH an error message.

   Only happening on one of my 4 WP installs.

   Long time user, running into the same problem on a 2.6.x.

   http://www.dkworldwide.com/techlife

   No username will allow a login in any browser client on multiple platforms/machines.

   In the user table I do notice that any change to the user_pass I make and select the md5, is then changed again after my first login attempt. This is probably extra security but just figured I would report it.

   Any help is appreciated.

   One more thing to add...

   If you choose a valid username and invalid password you will see the pink box indicating the incorrect password.

   If you choose a valid pair or u and pwd you see no box but the page refreshes to the login page.

   Yes I have tried playing with cookies thinking that could be the cause.

    More research on this...I tried blowing away my .htaccess file and still no luck.

    I have had this problem on three 2.6.2 upgrades over the last two days.

    After some complicated db adjustments on the first two upgrades I now think that it seems that the 2.6.2 upgrade is not properly clearing cookies.

    On the last upgrade tonight I again couldn't login at first but it worked instantly after clearing the cookies related to the site url.

    I think vegasgeek - who posted in this thread figured it out. If you can't log in, try this solution:
