 * I’m running cPanel shared hosting platform and recently I’m getting many report
   on WordPress login problem. All sites are using either WP 3.5 or 3.5.1. Also 
   happen randomly across different physical server.
 * The problem is all user can’t login to Dashboard. I’ve tried using
    1) wp-admin
   forgot password feature. 2) Change password through phpMyAdmin. 3) Change to 
   another email address through phpMyAdmin and use wp-admin forgot password feature.
 * All to no avail. I can’t login using any of the password(both generated by forgot
   password and manually entered).
 * No PHP or Apache error detected by cPanel. My best guess would be redirect problem
   but I can’t figure out which file is doing it.
 * Here’s an example site : [http://www.hafizstory.com/wp-login.php](http://www.hafizstory.com/wp-login.php)
 * Any solution and idea would be much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

 * Many hosts experienced problems due to [ mass attacks](http://blog.hostgator.com/2013/04/11/global-wordpress-brute-force-flood/)
   recently and temporarily disabled access to wp-admin as a result. Your hosts 
   may be one of them. Try contacting them about it.
