Hello! I've tried everything listed on one of the troubleshooting pages, including 1) removing cookies 2) removing firewall 3) reinstalling installation 4) deleting & replacing wp-login.php 5) deleting and reinstalling database 6) changing db password 7) editing wp-config 8) request new password.
All have resulted in a 403 forbidden error that states "the website declines to show this webpage" + "this website requires you to log in." Tech support at ISP set the permissions on the hosting directory, which he thought would cure the problem, but didn't.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

What are the permissions on the wordpress files? A 403 isn't a WordPress error, that's a server error that won't let you list the directory, IIRC.
Are you sure you're pointing to the right URL? Did you perhaps install WP in a subfolder?

Hey, ipstenu...
Thanks for the reply - I'm still trying to figure it out. I checked the permissions, and all permissions are checked 'yes'.
WP is installed in a subfolder called 'blog' - which is the way the ISP recommended it be installed.
Does that require some modification?
Again, thanks for the help!
Okay, what URL are you going to? http://domain.com or http://domain.com/blog?
If you're going to http://domain.com/blog then try this: http://domain.com/blog/index.php
It MIGHT be that your host doesn't default allow index.php as an index file. Usually that can be fixed with .htaccess, but let's see if this works first :)
Hi, i have the same issue.
http://www.rootdomain.com <-- wordpress #1 working fine
http://www.rootdomain.com/blog/ <-- wordpress #2 working fine, blog can be seen but cannot login as admin. I tried resetting password but not helping.
Pls advise
vinlim - Are these separate blogs or are you using MultiSite?
Also, please note that mchuston has a 403 error - If YOU are having that error, stick around. If not, please open a new ticket with the details of your install :)
Thx ipstenu. itz fix now. :-)
