I have a working installation of umbraco from the users point of view but I can no longer login. I have checked double check and tripple checked my password but it is not even giving me an incorrect login message it just stays on the login page.
I think that maybe a login property has gone wrong in the web.config file since that was overwritten by another web config file in an FTP mixup. I since put in the correct database details in and the site seemed to work fine up until I tried to log into the admin section. What could be miss configured???
Can you copy/check the username and password from the DB and use that?
Double check the fields in the DB to make sure the user is still enabled. I'm not to sure the field names, but I'm sure you'll see them in the user table.
Umbraco doesn't display an incorrect login message. It just bounces you back to the login screen.

Another thing to check is that the membership provider is not set to hash passwords if you have users who were not hashed before.
Take a look at this link for details of what I mean and how to fix it:
