 * Hello, i am sorry for my bad english. Since today i have a problem with login
   to my site [http://www.dajohofnet.org](http://www.dajohofnet.org)
    I can visit
   it but when i choose to login i have to fill in the data but after i click return
   it just stop there. There is no error message. What ever you fill in it will 
   do nothing. It does not seem to function that script. So i could not login from
   my pc. In my ipad i am still logged in as admin so i have deactivated all plugins
   but that does not work. I even did an update to wordpress 3.5.2 Als did not work.
   Could someonde please help me.? Or have a suggestion. Dave

 * If your sure the password is correct (no password errors) simply can’t get past
   login screen. Clearing cookies, cache etc, didn’t solve anything, replaceing 
   install files doesn’t resolve the issue try this:
 * 1. via ftp rename “wp-content” > “plugins” to “plugins_bak”
    2. create new dir“
   plugins” 3. login to wp (which now worked for me) 4. via ftp remove empty “plugins”
   created in step 2 5. and rename “plugins_bak” back to “plugins”
 * The above is an easy first step to try (doesn’t hurt anything) before getting
   into re-installs and going into the DB. If it works for you all your plugins 
   will be disabled so you’ll need to go to Plugins and re-enable those you want.
