    I recently upgraded my site and haven't logged back in as the Admin for a few weeks. When I tried the /wp-admin address it just routed me to my site with the following code in the address. No admin login prompt appeared.

    http://www.backbeatvideo.com/?redirect_to=http%253A%252F%252Fwww.backbeatvideo.com%252Fwp-admin%252F&reauth=1

    I could only find a referrence to this from a year ago, and didn't get it. Can anyone help me get back to my admin login page so I can work on my site. The site is funtioning fine.

    I'd start by clearing my browser cache totally. Then try again. Also try logging in at http://www.backbeatvideo.com/wp-login.php which is the standard location of the WordPress login page.

    Thanks for responding.

    I already tried deleting the temp internet files, cookies and history but that didn't work. Most things I read regarding this as clearing the cache. I also tried your suggested URL, but it just brought me to my site and a page that said it couldn't that page. When I've tried it again it just brings me to my homepage.

    Any other ideas?

    Actually, I tried /wp-admin.php which got me the "can't locate page" prompt. The /wp-login.php just to me to my homepage.

    Pardon my poor late-night English above...
    I tried clearing the cache totally, all options, this morning and still ended up with the same results.

    I would appreciate any other suggestions.

    Sounds to me like there is something wrong with your WordPress install. I'd download a fresh copy and reinstall it. Basically remove everything but wp-config.php and wp-content/ then upload the new WordPress files making sure not to copy over wp-content and wp-config.php.

    That's a pretty simple explanation of the process so read more about how to install WordPress at:

    It's certainly possible to loose all of your images and content if you don't do this properly.
