Clients can't login, and we can't either

Sometime within the past two days clients lost the ability to login to their accounts. We cannot login to the admin area, either. I submitted a trouble ticket to my host a minute ago.



The error we get states that the username or password is invalid.



Sounds like that could be a big problem… or perhaps a simple one.



Anyone have any ideas what might cause this? Loss of a dedicated IP, database connection??



Thanks in advance.

Clear your cookies and try again.

Whom are you hosting with?

This did not solve the problem. The problem must be present on the server only.



I also cleared the compiled data from the var folders.

PM me a login for the administration backend,

If I can login it’s browser based, otherwise it may be system security. J.

I logged in just fine.

The delay between post & login was approximately 3 seconds. Looks like your server is very slow and/or is misconfigured.
