Assuming you haven't really been banned...

I have occasionally seen this, usually when mucking about with environments (cloning, backups, restores), so cookies/sessions get confused.

First couple things I'd try is deleting browser cookies & trying a different browser.

If that doesn't work, maybe even change the $cookiename in Settings.php

You may also want to check browser security settings, e.g., to make sure cookies are enabled.
