Can't login on the Admin-page

[Bas]

Hi guys,

I've just done a clean install of EE.
First I've installed 1.5 RC4, then upgraded to 2.0.

For some reason tho, I can't login to the admin page :(

Each time I enter the default username/pass, I get to see the same page! :(

Anyone here who can help? Everything went fine during the installation, no errors or whatever.

i am sure you have tried this but the login for 2 is;
username: admin
pass: pass

i found this in my notes
RESET PASSWORD:
Unzip admin/SCRIPT_reset_username_and_pass.zip and open SCRIPT_reset_username_and_pass.php to your browser. That resets
username: admin
pass: pass

then make sure you delete SCRIPT_reset_username_and_pass.php so that no one else may knock you out if they figure out the name of your admin directory... make sure that you keep the zip file, though! ;)

I am having the same problem. First I've installed 1.5 RC4, then upgraded to 2.0, but I can not login with the default password. I even tried using SCRIPT_reset_username_and_pass.php to reset the password and I can not get it to work. I had no errors when installing. I am just really confused.
My website is http://www.aitef.org/gallery/. I have no idea what the problem may be.

Please help.

you should email me right away as i was able to loginto your site using the default settings.

you are trying to go in through the front page which is just for users

there is a special page for the admin login which i was able to access.

[gorlewskik]

Thank you yosemite. Problem solved.

hopefully you also renamed your admin directory to something else unguessable? this is a major item that needs be done during the installation and before you're first logon... i know that it is (was?) spoken of in the installation steps...

[gorlewskik]

Yes, I renamed that directory. Thank you for your concern.

Sorry to bring this old post back up. I am having the same issue, any solution to it?

Thanks.

Try your login at the following url, replacing your domain with your domain and your subfolder with your subfolder.

http://www.yourdomain.com/subfolder/admin/EDITOR_loginpage.php (http://www.aitef.org/gallery/admin/EDITOR_loginpage.php)

username: admin
password: pass

And do not forget to change the name of the admin folder!!!!!!! it is a security risk!!!:lol:

I had the same problem, I was just dumb- it was like ah hah when somebody told me that I was trying to login into the user interface, not the admin interface- so getting help at this forum was the way to go! Hope this helps.

Delete the EE cokkies in your browser--- After a new installation there is a mix up from EEold to EEnew which remains there confusing the browser... and the admin ;-)

Thanks. i actually tried to go in from the admin page since the beginning, and I am getting the same result.

I did tried to clear cookies and same thing :(

[UweB]

The other thing that went wrong in my installation and the admin logon was the cookies name. I used dots and empty spaces like "EE Admin www.domain.ch" which do not work with all installations because they get converted. Pekka then suggested using underscores... EE_Admin_www_domain_ch and this worked.
