Login Issues with WP-Admin

[dazkat]

I've been having this annoying issue for a number of weeks now - When ever I try to login to wp-admin it never recognises my password even though it is correct.

Each time I have to click the reset password link and change it. Once I've created my new password I am able to login fine to wp-admin. But if I log out and try to log back in I get the same issue where it doesn't recognise my email and I have to go through the same old routine of clicking the forgot password link and changing it again.

I've tried this in different browsers and nothing seems to fix it.

Has anyone had this issue before & how did you fix it??

I have never heard of this issue before. Make sure your caps lock is not on. If you are going back and forth between caps on and off it will cause a problem since passwords are case sensitive.

Hi lynth,

Thanks for the reply, no caps lock isn't on at all during any of my attempts.
It doesn't just happen when I try to login but also with other admin users of this site as well.
I know it is very strange and I just can't seem to work it out.
I think it has something to do with the code but unfortunately that is'nt my specialty.

sounds like an issue with your WordPress installation then. Try disabling all plug-ins and switching to the 2011 theme that comes with WordPress and see if you still have the issue. If the issue goes away try re-enabling things one at a time and see when it breaks again.

Hey Lynnth
It actually appears to be a browser issue with Firefox & Aurora.
When I try logging in using IE or Crome I have no issues but with the other two I have problems.
This is really strange as it doesn't seem to happen with any of my other sites.

Delete your browser cache.. I also like to use CCleaner (google it) when I want to clean out my cache and temp files.. it solves some issues.
