cannot log into admin panel

[epokercheats]

I cannot log in to my vbulliten admin panel.

When I try to log in, it brings me to the temporary redirect page, then redirects me backto the login page.

This is probably a cookie domain/path issue. To fix this, upload the tools.php script in the 'do_not_upload' folder of the vB zip file to your Admin CP directory. Use this to reset the cookie domain and path back to the defaults. And then leave your cookie domain and path at the default settings. There is no reason to change these. If you need to specify a unique cookie, use the cookie prefix setting in config.php instead.

Excellent Advice Steve. Saved me posting another thread!

I'm having this issue.. I just finished a new install and when I attempt to log into the adminCP for the first time, it redirects me back to the login screen.

I left the cookie settings/path at their defaults and ran the tools.php to reset them in case there was a glitch or something.

Problem persists.

I have the same problem: first installations, reset cookie trhoug tools.php, but after recognize the admin it redirects again to the login panel

Try logging in the forum home page first, and then logging in to the backend.

tried: same problem. It redirects again to the login page. But the user is shown in Users online

still not working

if I delete all cookies, when I go on admincp login it asks the customer number every time. Strange, with other my board it was asked only the 1st time.

Any suggestions?
