I'm stuck. I was messing around within the admin area of my new Drupal installation. I host on GoDaddy. At some point, I unchecked the login box for the admin page and now I cannot login. Duh, I should've figured it was there for a reason, but now I can't get in.
Fortunately, I haven't done anything with it, aside from messing it up. Is there some way to get that log in box back on the admin page or should I just reinstall and start again?
I feel so silly.
TIA,
Marie

Try this
Marie,
You should be able to login using the site url followed by "/user" (sans the quotes)
That will bring you to the Drupal login page.

Another Log in problem
Just installed SMF which is supposed to tie into the Drupal log in. However, it did something funky to where the page just reloads when I try to log in to Drupal. Since I can't log in as the admin, I can't even disable to module. Any ideas?
Delete SMF folder
For future visitors, the "fix" was to delete the offending SMF installation folder. Some script was erroring out, giving a blank page whenever someone tried to log in. We had just upgraded to SMF 2.0, so deleting the old installation wasn't a problem.
Login issues
Download firefox and login with the firefox browser
I know, I know!!! It sounds crazy but it works.
This solution goes against everything I know about browsers, but I have done a lot of testing with different locations browsers and drupal versions. The Only thing that's consistent is the successful login with firefox.
thats true .. this always works..
beats me too.. i never could understand how this happens.
can't login
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!
Hopefully the problem will go away when I logoff my PC and log in again. but FF did the deed!!

Same problem as pjkwis
Our site has been up and running fine for months, then all of a sudden I can't login under any username, even SuperAdmin. Entered username and password and it cycles back to the login page. Asked for a new password and followed the email link, again cycles back to the login page... but now it shows the username as being online. Did the same thing with two different usernames with the same result. Any suggestions???

This problem really doesn't
This problem really doesn't have anything to do with the Drupal homepage. Users on drupal.org are not automatically allowed to log in to other Drupal sites.
What version of Drupal are you running?

Was it working before?

i was running drupal locally and the password change that it let me do (email, link, new password etc.) didn't affect my local copy of drupal. Had to go in and manually change it.
Thanks for the response!
Solution, but don't understand what the problem was!
After writing my note I went back and tried clearing cache, cookies and logins for Firefox browser and now I can get in. Had the same problem with IE8, Chrome. Just tried Chrome without clearing cache, etc. and it also works now. I don't understand what's going on that clearing cache on one browser will fix another browser. Can anyone enlighten?
I am having the same problem.
I am having the same problem. I am using firefox 3.6.8.

Had the same issue and fixed it
Drupal 6.19. Working on Mac OSX Snow Leopard.
I was ok to login with Firefox. But I couldn't log in to my website using Safari: Access denied message was displayed. On Firefox side, in recent log entries, I could see that the atempted login was sucessful... Weird.
Here is what I did:
1- Disabled and uninstalled all unused modules. Among them: Addthis, Chaos Tools suites, Panels, Numbers, Node reference, JQuery Eyecandy, Views Embed Form, Link, ImageAPI ImageMagick, Color.
2- Empty session table of database via PhpMyadmin
3- cleared all caches and cookies from all browsers on my computer
4- Atempted to login as admin in Safari: Success!
5- Atemped to login as user in Safari: Success!
I have still the same login problem with Chrome, and it still gives me Access denied message when tyring to login. But as my client work with Safari, I'm ok.
Hope it could help someone else.

My question is about Administrative panel/bar & Editing mode. Off your topic, and current. Thanks in advance!
I can't view the Administrative panel/bar & Editing mode after my superAdmin login on my local server (my site is in development). After login I can view some content from my previous site (pre-error) but when I click on "Edit" or "Configure the block" it takes me to a blank screen. It's a dead end. I can back up to the home page but no editing or admin access to my editing mode at all. Please, help!

One more thing...
One more thing to try is to include index.php in the paths above. For instance, where I say yourdomain.com/?q=user, also try yourdomain.com/index.php?q=user.
If you discover that you have to include index.php, you may want to get someone to look at your server configuration. It should not be necessary to do this, and it suggests that there may be other problems with your configuration.

I'm glad you found the
I'm glad you found the solution. However, you need to check your server settings and make sure that index.php is set as the default page to load when only the folder is requested. It should look something like this:
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htmls index.htm
Also, there may be a difference between 'new' and 'new/', but I don't remember what settings control that. Normally, apache is set up to recognize a folder without the trailing slash by default so I haven't had to deal with that case in a long time.

login problem
any time i want to login it will take back to wampserver page after try all these solution
To directly reset your password, log into phpMyAdmin and execute the following mySQL statement:
UPDATE users SET pass = md5('newpassword') WHERE uid = 1;
Enter your new password in the md5 function - it will automatically be converted via a one-way hash (this is why we can't retrieve your old password - the decryption is a one-way process). Note that for earlier versions of Drupal you may need to use SET password, instead of SET pass.
This will effectively reset the Drupal admin password for user 1. Note that you can use this to reset the password of any user, although this is typically unnecessary as you should be able to simply log in as admin user (user 1), under which you have the ability to reset any user's password.
please anybody who will help me solve this problem because im very tired now...

Custom Drupal7 Theme
Hello Guys I m new in Drupal And Now what i m doing is Using custom Html Theme for my Site. Which i can see well also.but my problem is when i logged out of the admin than can't access my Admin panel . Why ? Even though i tries for ?=admin then its showing me Access Denied.Can anyone suggest me how to work with admin panel as well as my custom theme.Thanks in Advance
Access denied when logging in with specific browsers..
Wow okay I found out one thing that will cause it to not work is setting your default windows time out of sync. If you change it to several hours ahead or behind time it could cause you to not be able to login to your website. Restore it back to the defaults and clear your cache and cookies and then close out the browser and restart it. It worked for me!

Cookie Domain
If you just transferred your site from one domain to another and no one can login into the site, you need to update your Cookie Domain.
In the settings.php file, update the $cookie_domain variable to your new domain name starting with a period. Such as:
$cookie_domain = '.example.com';

The admin toolbar doesn't usually appear unless you are logged in. Can you log in? you could try going to your site at yoursitename/user

My site comes up when I
My site comes up when I Sitename.com/?q=user. But somehow I logged out when in themes and now I don't have my admin toolbar
When you go to
When you go to sitename.com/?q=user are you presented with a login screen? If so, log in, then you should get the admin toolbar (assuming your account was given admin priveleges). If you don't see the login screen, you may already be logged in, and seeing your profile. In this case go to q=admin to see if you can see admin options there.
We can resolve this offline if you want.

lost user log in screen
Your post of January 2011 re Browsers and lost login pages has saved my life and spared me HOURS of work. I thought I had inadvertently deleted the user login page or something! I had tried unsuccessfully to get to the access page using ../user and .../q=user but these all took me to a Page Not Found screen. Then I tried to restore a previous backup but after ages of uploading the file, I received an error/time out message.
But googling the problem brought me to your post re URL niceties - thank you so much for your brains and experience!
mod_rewrite disappeared which disabled login
After a day of pondering all the threads on sudden loss of ability to log in to my drupal 7 site, I found the answer here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8125299/moved-drupal-7-site-to-a-diff... (all the way at the bottom).
It turned out a major ubuntu server upgrade disabled the apache2 mod_rewrite, but my drupal 7 site was set for clean url's. The two don't mix, so none of my attempts to log in failed until I used the "/?q=user" url. Login worked immediately. I then navigated to "/?q=admin/config/search/clean-urls" where I unchecked the "Clean URLs" box and my site worked fine as confirmed by being able to add content and make changes in administrative settings.
I then enabled mod_rewrite and restarted apache which allowed me to re-check the "Clean URLs" box and go back to normal.
Hope this helps others.
Cannot login to admin on MAMP
Really weird problem here. I installed Drupal 7.34 on my local mamp server and followed the step by step instructions of the install. The install seems to follow to the end with no errors. When it says, "Visit site," it takes me to the front-end but usually the admin bar is there. Now its gone. I have no idea what happened. If I go to http://localhost:8888/test/?q=user it takes me to the admin login and when I input the password and username it says access denied. The url is (http://localhost:8888/test/user/1)
I've dbchecked the setttings.php to see if there was a db settings were misconfigured but it shows correct.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions I could try.
P.S - Figured I'd download and install Drupal 6 to see where that led me and of course it did install and I could reach the admin area.
SOLVED = Geesh!!! Very sorry. I checked out the answer above. It was the cookie domain. Is this in the documents somewhere?

Edit not solved. LOL....Came back to work on my site and did a log out and boom...same scenario of not being able to login in. Very dissapointing

Enable URL_rewrite
if you are running on apache, enable url_rewrite module, then you can easily go on and change clean url settings as you wish.
I am suspecting other servers need to be configured similarly. this link was helpful in solving the logging in problem.
basically you have to use ?q=user instead of /user for getting to the logon page.
but, need to check that url_rewrite for web-server is enabled.
I found that the drush
I found that the drush pm-update replaced my .htaccess file making it impossible to view ANY pages other than the home page, nor to login, even using /user as part of the url. Fortunately I keep several backups of that file and only had to copy it back to the root of my Drupal site (overwriting the one drush put there) and it worked just fine after that.
