    Howdy...I've read some posts about this problem, but can't login. It doesn't tell me the username or password is wrong. It just refreshes the page and nothing happens. I can't login to the admin panel or the public facing site. I changed my password in the database, but that didn't work. I think I've been hacked already. I just finished the site 2 days ago and I'm getting a ton of spam registrations. Now I can't get in. What a nightmare. Any ideas for getting control of my site back and then protecting it?

    Did you make sure that when changing your password in the db that you set the field to md5 before saving it?

    Yeah, I did that.

    It looks like this must have been a cookie issue with Firefox. I tried Explorer and I could get in. In Firefox it was redirecting me to the wp-admin login page. When I tried to login it would just redirect me each time. I thought it might be a cookie issue, but could not find where to clear that in Firefox (Feeling dumb here!). Tried Explorer and I got in.
