Can't Log In to Admin Page

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

thank you! , Lol, I tried to

Thaks

login

Thanks jskowyra. Your idea worked and I fixed it.

Marie

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???

Is this an issue on any

login problems

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 using firefox 3.6.8.

I have drupal 6.17 installed. Putting '/users' after the site name does not help - that just gets me a 403 error.

Walterbyrd,

I've stumbled on that once or twice myself but you want to use /user (singular) not/users (plural).

had the same problem - i'm thinking something funky is going on with cookies / cache .. couldn't login in chrome (page kept cycling back to login form even from "restore password") but then tried in FF and it worked fine.

When I tried to login into the Admin pages from Safari, no joy; locally or from 2nd Mac;
After going bold from pulling my hair out, I download and tried Firefox 4 beta and it worked (Logged in without any issue.

This issue can be replicated; I have logged this issue but the guys think I am insane.

Anyway it's a work around for now.

It is giving error 404 which i don't understand. please help me out

Browsers and servers are

Which page gives you a 404 error? Is it the login page, or the user page that you normally get after logging in? Or something else? Do you mind posting the site url?

How to login admin panel. That shows access denied in the front page

See

yourdomain.com/admin
yourdomain.com/?q=user

plus clearing all cache in firefox and safari....

help!!

Is your domain available on

The first solution suggested worked for my issue. Thanks for the help!

I've tried each of the suggestions listed on this forum and many others, but can't seem to find a way to log in. I went through the install process no problem, and it was supposed to end with me logged in, but it just went straight to the site.

Any thoughts?

Don't have time to look

ugh. I can't thank you enough. Of course it would be something silly like that. Thanks again! Maybe the problem was that I was working on this at 2am last night and my eyes were going crossed.

I'm glad you found the

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...

when I login on my website, just loads a white page , I log to try to fix a little bug that appears in my page, but i can't login, i don't know what happened.

this is the little bug maybe this have a relation wiht my problem:

http://s2.subirimagenes.com/imagen/previo/thump_7211434error.png

It is saying that headers are already sent on line 1 of index.php. That is a big problem. Take a look at the index.php file and make sure there is absolutely nothing before the first php tag.

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

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!

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';

I am new to this and a high school teacher got one of her kids to build my site, he just dropped it in my lap, anyway while working around in themes I logged out and now the admin toolbar is missing and when I use the ?q....it says access denied, help

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

Your Database is Probably Toast

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!

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.

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

Thanks!

Hello,

My login page is not working in FF (31.3.0) but its working fine on IE 11. Very strange and I wasted 3 hours on this Issue :(.

Hi,
I am unable to log in as admin right after fresh installation of drupal.
After successful configuartion of drupal 7 it should directly login as administrator but it is asking me to login and after filling correct username and password it is not working .....
Nw what to do ???? pls help me........

Try resetting the password? I like the drush method.
https://www.drupal.org/node/44164

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 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.
