    I have been trying to access to the following pages:
    .- http://codex.wordpress.org/Blog_Design_and_Layout
    .- http://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
    .- http://codex.wordpress.org/First_Steps_With_WordPress
    .- http://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Panels#Menus

    And the browser is prompting me the message of “Failed to get ID from name ” …

    Could someone please help me?

    Thank you

    Sorry but all of the pages work for me when using Firefox 3.6.6. Have you tried emptying your browser cache?

    Thanks for your advice, I have resolved the problem.

    I didn't want to lose all my cookies information so I ha to figure out other solution

    In the dialog Tools>Options>Privacy>remove individual cookies
    I have search ALL the cookies that were related to wordpress.org and deleted them.

    This has resolve my situation. But I would like to know why did it happen?

    Cheers

    Possibly a corrupted cookie file?

    Just to add that I'm also currently experiencing this problem.

    There's a known issue with the new codex authentication system and old cookies.

    For the time being, I think I've eliminated the problem with a quick fix. A more complete patch will be forthcoming.

    If you do get that message, simply clear your cookies and reload the page, then login with your WordPress.org username and password.
