 * Hi there!
    i’ve installed wp 2 days ago, installed new theme and could login 
   as admin without any problems, so i think i just logged in once. Since then **
   i can not login on my admin account**, i didnt set any others yet. When i login
   the site reloads. when i enter a wrong password it tells me its wrong, i can 
   request a new one “lost password”, but trying to login just reloads the page.
   and the old one gets “wrong password”. there are may suggestions for this problem
   out there but none seems to work, and many seem to have the same issue. I’ve 
   cleared cookies and deleted plugins folder nothing works.
 * The OS has nothing to do with it but i’m on
    OSX and WinXP, firefox 3.0.7 and
   safari 3.2.1

 * i’ve reinstalled wp, updated the plugins one by one, created a new user and still
   get the same problem.
    this is frustrating.
 * thanks for the help!

    Try this : [http://johnhawkinsunrated.com/fixing-the-wordpress-login-issue](http://johnhawkinsunrated.com/fixing-the-wordpress-login-issue)
   it sometimes work.
 * If not – I guess there is nothing to do but re-install…
    Nobody seems to know
   WHY this is happening or how to solve this.
