 * I am getting the error where I am getting looped to the log in page no matter
   what I type in – correct information, incorrect information.
 * I’ve deleted my cache and cookies, I’ve tried on three different machines. I’ve
   also re-named the “plugins” folder and still cannot log in.
 * I just installed it last night and everything was fine and it just stopped working.
 * I have WordPress on my root directory for my blog, and located on a subdomain
   for a friend. Like I said, it was working fine until this morning. Neither of
   us had done anything. I can log into mine without any problems, but she cannot
   log into hers.

 * I am just facing the same problem..
    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.

 * I am having the same problem. Did a WordPress install (through Godaddy) into 
   a subdomain of an existing WordPress blog. It worked fine when I set it up and
   I was able to customize the theme and everything. A couple of days later it stopped
   letting me login. I have reset the password in the database (and made it MD5)
   but I just get a loop of login screens, regardless of whether I type in the correct
   info or not.
 * I have the latest version of WordPress so I do not think it is the exploit described
   in that link.
 * Also, my login screen has lost all its formatting. It is an unstyled page.
 * I have no idea what to do about this, does anyone have any suggestions?

 * I forgot to mention that I have also tried renaming the plugins folder, so that
   does not appear to be the problem.
