 * This is getting quite annoying…
    I have switched from LifeType to WordPress and
   installing went smoothly and everything was cool until i can’t get to the admin
   section anymore. WordPress says something about rights: “You do not have sufficient
   permissions to access this page.”
 * I have made several clean installations and this severe problem keeps appearing.
   This pisses me off…

 * What are the permissions on your admin directory?

 * It’s not about permissions, because it’s working for some time and then suddenly
   won’t let me in.

 * Anyway, do you have more than one user account created? Perhaps an admin and 
   another level?

 * I have only admin account. And weird thing is that WordPress is working for a
   while when installed, but then starts to loose my rights.

 * I have the same issue. I hadn’t posted to the blog in about a week while customizing
   other aspects of my site. Then yesterday tried to start writing a new post and
   received “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”
 * Has anyone experienced this before I spend potentially hours trying to figure
   it out?

 * From this thread:
    [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/32431?replies=17](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/32431?replies=17)
 * “I’ve solved the problem. Downloaded WP again and extracted only wp-login.php
   to start with and uploaded it to the remote server. It helped. I even didn’t 
   have to give my username and password. It brought me straight to the admin-section.
   I think something was wrong with the earlier downloaden wp-login. I’ve uploaded
   that more times, without result. This fresh one worked!”
