Have you tried:
-deactivating ALL plugins temporarily to narrow down and possibly fix the problem . If the problem goes away, activate them individually to find the culprit?
-switching to the default theme for a moment by renaming your current theme’s folder in wp-content/themes. The idea is to force WordPress to fall back to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific issue?
If you don’t have access to your admin area, then access your server via FTP or SFTP or whatever file management application your host provides.
– resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin? Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.
I found the culprit: W3 Total Cache. I’m not sure why it’s doing this, but it’s messing up the login. Everything is fixed once I deactivated it. I really need this plugin, too. Does this problem happen often with W3 Total Cache?

I heard about it, bt I don’t know the exact statistics as to how often.
Clearly, this plugin is in conflict in your case. Alternaely, you may experiment with some other cache plugin(s).
By default W3TC does not do this. If you submit a bug submission form (from the support tab of the plugin) I can have a look at things more closely so that if indeed there is a bug related to correct settings it can be resolved.
