Weird Admin login problems?

[mortypop]

Hi

I just installed zencart to a new domain. And having problems when trying to log in to my admin.

What happens is that when i enter the correct username and password, the page just loads again and I'm back to login.
If I write the wrong username or pass it says wrong username or pass. (this way it confirms the right username and pass when the page is just loading).

my domain is:
LED Lys

Please help me anyone. Would really appreciate some help.

Best regards
Morten

Did you install this using an auto-installer such as Fantastico? If you did then it's likely that it created a password which is not acceptable to Zen Cart.

Try using this tutorial (link below) to reset the 'admin' user name and password (and then alter it again after you've gained access):

Hi, thank your for fast reply. I really appreciate this.
I installed it by using zc_install/index.php as I have on 3 other domains. But this time the login just re-load the page every time I enter the correct username and pass.

I have tried to install it 3 times now and every time the same thing happens on this domain. But I newer experienced this on my other domains when installing zencart.

Please note that everything else is working fine, its just the admin login that doesn't work.

Please help!

Okay, I will try it when i get access to phpmyadmin. But the username and password is correct! Are there any other suggestions?

I have installed it 3 times on different places on my new domain.
I have also reset the password and had a new one sent to my mail. But every time I enter the correct username and pass the page just re-loads. If I enter wrong pass everything works fine telling me that the pass is wrong.

But the username and password is correct

I'm not challenging the User Name, but the Password can be suspect.

1. Zen Cart requires a minimum of 5 letters/numerals for a password. If you set one that's less than 5 then it won't work.
2. If you typed the Password in incorrectly then the one you think you set up won't be the one you actually set up.
3. When you reset the password did you close down all of your Browser windows before going back to login?

1) As I have said many times. This is the third zencart I'm installing, all with the same username and password. When i log in with the correct password there is another action than when i try to log in with the wrong password. But the action is just reloading the page without getting in to the admin area.

2) I have changed the password, getting new passwords to my mail account and copy/paste it into the password window. There is nothing wrong with the password!!!!!

3) Yes, I have cleared all cashes and everything.

Please understand that its not that it just doesn't work and that i get a message that i don't work. Everything looks normal until I enter the correct username and password. Then the site loads, but throws me back to login page.
