Ya, I'm stumped too. I can't recreate the problem despite trying all manner of odd things.
Makes me lean back again to the more obvious thing: username/password mismatch ... but ideasgirl insists she entered them correctly.
I suppose the other possibility is that the password contains multibyte characters and the database export-then-import has mangled those characters due to encoding conflicts.
One thing I'd try before hacking any code is to simply insert the Admin/admin password from the Password Reset FAQ at
http://www.zen-cart.com/content.php?...admin-password (only do the INSERT statement, the others aren't needed in your case) and use that for your credentials in the upgrader. If that works then the username/password from the db import got mangled, and that raises an alarm for you to inspect other possible data corruption problems.
