are you sure you are entering the correct login details? when you enter the username and password – does it give you “invalid username/password” area just above where you enter the details?

Hi Kevin
It doesn’t give me any message. The page simply reloads back to the same page. We initially thought someone had changed the passwords, but I don’t think that’s the case.
Just to be sure, I found an ‘Emergency Password Script’ to reset the passwords via FTP, which I tried and it seemed to work okay.
It was then that I realised we weren’t actually getting an “invalid username/password” message, just a strange redirected URL.
Thanks
I’ve just tried (apologies!) to use rubbish details to login to the url you have linked to. it mentions invalid details – but it also mentions my browser does not support cookies (it does).
based on this – did a quick search – and found a link to relevant thread which you should probably read.
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/cookie-error-site-not-letting-me-log-in?replies=7
so it mentions a few cookie related items you can add to your config.php; I’ve never come across this issue before – but the site does tell me explicitly if i enter invalid login details – and in doing so mentions the cookie issue.
if you have not tried already – it is probably worth a shot?
also – probably best to explicitly remove the link to your login area above – people offering suggestions here probably don’t need to know this 🙂

Thanks Kevin, that sounds promising. I will read it through now.
Good call about the link too, will do. 🙂
