For some reason i cant log into umbraco with the admin account. I dont get a password is incorrect error i just get nothing or the red shaking box thing. Ive tried reseting the password in sql (UPDATE umbracoUser set userdisabled=0, userLogin='admin', userPassword='newpassword' where id=0) but still no joy. Any ideas?
Its v.4 I uploaded the site today(as you know from my last problem today) the db was set up on a new server today and after i did so i got a 'must reset login' sql error when i tried to login to umbraco. So i changed the password to access the db but now my admin doesnt work. I have a login to change content sections only and this is fine. Its just strange i dont get any error, it just wont let me in.

sorry that meant to say 'not even the red shaking box thing'
Which version of umbraco? have you recently upgrade?

Are you using plain or hashed passwords?
plain
I'd use firebug/charles or similar to look at the http traffic that might give you a clue.
See if a cookie is being dropped or not.
If not then you might want to start profiling the database to see what query login is running.
HTH.
Try the "backdoor" solution Chris Larson suggests in this topic, it worked for me:

If you don't want to do it manually, Chris even created a script you could use, it's on the 2nd page of the same topic.
