Just upgraded from 2.5+ to WordPress 2.6.3 --
Now I cannot access the Admin area --
When I type in the password in the log-in screen, the password just disappears and will not move to the Admin area.
I have tried the "lost password" and even the new password will not grant access to the Admin area.
Any way to troubleshoot this problem?

I have searched for solutions and found basically only password resets. So I've tried that --- the phpMyAdmin password reset method is not working. I have two other WP blogs and they updated to WP 2.6.3 just fine.
I'm stuck at the log-in screen.

okay...renamed plugins to "plugs". Tried to log-in, just sends me to the same page:
Logging in from this page:
http://www.flakepublishing.com/blog/wp-login.php
redirects me to this:
http://www.flakepublishing.com/blog/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flakepublishing.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-admin%2F
Seems like it's trying to send me to the Admin page...but keeps me on the login page... weird. What could be causing this?

OKAY... problem is SOLVED:
The SECRET KEY section of code was missing in my previously used wp-config.php.
Apparently, the wp-config.php file did not have this in WP 2.5+.
So, from the wp-config-sample.php I replaced this:
<em>define('AUTH_KEY', 'put your unique phrase here'); // Change this to a unique phrase.
define('SECURE_AUTH_KEY', 'put your unique phrase here'); // Change this to a unique phrase.
define('LOGGED_IN_KEY', 'put your unique phrase here'); // Change this to a unique phrase.</em>with a new key generated from: http://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/
...renamed the file to wp-config.php, uploaded and replaced the "Old" one...and now it all works.
So you have to create a new wp-config.php using the sample one provided in the install package.
You need to delete browser cookies and cache, then try again.
Renaming the plugin directory will only help if it's a plugin that's causing the problem.

True, mrmist... true. My issues weren't plugins.
