Admin panel won't go past the sign in page - it just keeps reloading with a new key!

[richard_gandy]

Hi @Theis Corfixen 

It is only a problem accessing the admin panel and the /downloader. 

I checked our databse and the only thing in there was the following:-

SELECT * FROM `core_config_data` WHERE 1

Thank you,

Richard

Hi @Theis Corfixen and @richard_gandy 

There is also a issue when adding products to cart.

When product is added to cart, the shops redirect to cart, but shows "youre cart is empty".

Could you make a temp. admin login, to check further in admin maybe ?

Hi @KentChr_DK 

That is correct - how do I go about making a temporary admin if I can't log into the admin panel?

Thanks,

Richard

ha ha.... Brainfart there - My bad

Could you provide the original admin login details, send in a private message maybe?

[richard_gandy]

Hi @KentChr_DK 

Many thanks - I have just sent you across a private message now. 

Thanks again!

Lets together investigate further, and see if we can come up with a solution

Found this online, not sure if it helps, but you could give it a try ?

Step 1: Login to phpMyAdmin or whatever you use to edit your database.
Step 2: Go to the core_config_data table
Step 3: Find general/locale/timezone and set the value to your local time zone so for me is America/Los_Angeles some people be America/New_York (if you have setup a magento installation before go copy those details) 
Step 4: Now find web/cookie/cookie_domain and set it to NULL (check the checkbox when editing it)
Step 5: Use FTP to clear var/cache and var/session
