I had this exact same problem. It's pretty frustrating. However, the issue seems to be a problem with storing sessions in the database. When I changed my config to the default session storage, things returned to normal.Quote:

I am having the same problem as others, I cannot get logged in to the admin account.
I just forgot my username and password for the site, so I went through and ran the scripts but when I try to login as Admin \ admin I get error 401 unauthorized, you failed to provide a valid account required for access to page in firefox, and when I try in IE it just brings up the display box again asking for username and password. I have tried resetting cookies and cache etc. in both browsers and even tried logging in from a different computer. Everything with the site seems to be working fine I just can't get logged in as Admin.
Any other suggestions of things I could try?
I have spent an inordinate amount of time attempting to login in to admin with new install of 1.3.8. I have read the majority of posts and suggestions that have been made have been tried.Quote:

I've setup numerous other installations of ZenCart and never had this much trouble to get a new installation up and running. Setup for this is similar to another cart which is 1.3.7 and its working fine.
I have correct permissions on cache directory. I don't have SSL running and its set to "false". I've checked database name, username and password and that's correct. I've cleared cookies, cache etc in web browser. PHP version is 4.3.1. Any other suggestions to attempt to resolve?
also I have same problem, I had to upgrade the site on a hosting and ok, then I did new installation on a new server dedicated, ok, then I transfered database and files, and ok.
And now I see store but I can't login, I saw the faq to reset admin but it doesn't go.
And the email doesn't function because really I installed the system on a dedicated server identified with a number, then I will configure mail and other, so I think it is this because don't send email.
Please, I did all correctly now it misses only the login.
How can I do?
Please
:cry::cry:
I have moved to a different server. Site is up and running ok, all products displaying.
But I cant login. I sent a new password and tried using that and it still wont let me into admin.
I created a new customer account with new email address and password. I could not login in there either. I even got an email indicating that I have a new customer. So the database end of business is working.
What could be causing the blocking of anyone logging in?
I solved with this
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...products_id=82
I don't have do step by step procedure for move to another host.
Sorry, but I solved so.
And without apply the two patch codes above.
Thank you very much
I hope you solved too
:clap:
You can try, but before try delete old sql and reimport sql in this way and then applicate the fix (file goes in the root directory of store) in this way you can use your password and not Admin and admin. I did so.
That didnt help.
Oddly, the other website I have works fine on the same server.
Yikes
