Thank you Otto. I was using the correct password but I still got that error – I have no clue why. The one thing I didn’t try was the password reset. I reset the password and then tried to login again. This time I got the message “Please login again”. Then I repeat what you suggested above (clearing cookies)… then it works! Very strange. I’m used to hassle-free upgrades, so this one was a bit of a curveball.

Thanks for your help on this!

Best, Ian

Oh dear, I have an identical problem, but it cannot be resolved using the above solutions. I’ve just upgraded from 2.5 to 2.6 and I get stuck at the login screen (“ERROR: Incorrect password.”). I’ve:

1) Cleared the cache, cookies, history.
2) Tried another browser (I use Firefox, but tried logging in via IE and Safari).
3) Reinstalled the whole WP installation.
4) Manually reset passwords in database + added a new user (with admin access).
5) Repeated steps #1-#4 over and over…

Still no cigar. Any other ideas would be great! Thanks in advance…
