I was having the same problem. I tried to login in, but nothing would happen. Resending my password would not work either.

I found the culprit in my .htaccess file. The rewrite for sending example.com to www.example.com caused the issue. I don't know why, but when I removed it I was able to log in fine.

Now I need to figure a way for it to work with the rewrite.

Make sure the correct details are entered in the config files, and that your non-www to www code is correct.

all of a sudden I am not able to log into admin. Attempting setting new password for the error said I was using the wrong username or password. New password(s) didnt work either and after 10 or more attempts now log in page is gone with this error message:
0 DB_ERROR_NOT_CONNECTED
in:
[select * from zen_project_version WHERE project_version_key = 'Zen-Cart Database' ]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

then the back button just reloads the error page

If you can see your Catalog ... check the two configure.php files:
/includes/configure.php
/admin/includes/configure.php

and make sure that the database information is the same as it sounds like you are not connecting the the right database or have the wrong username or password ...

If you can see your Catalog ... check the two configure.php files:
/includes/configure.php
/admin/includes/configure.php

both files checked and all is exactly the same under
define('DB_TYPE', 'mysql');

restoring from my backup files failed now I get
the nddbc.html file

First ... before changing anything could you see your Catalog even though you could not login to your admin?

Next ... when you say "restoring from my backup files" are you referring to your configure.php files or other files or your database?

since site has been down for a day or so I am reinstalling. Which of my backup files do I need to upload to make the site as it originally saved?????
do I replace everything except the 2 configure.php files & just edit for database?
