Just installed SMF on my server via fantastico.
At the cpanel its telling me to login with the user name password that I created.
but at the admin page I get the following:
You are not allowed to administrate this forum.
Please login below or register an account with guzmansgreenhouse.com
Any ideas ::)

My browser is I.E. yes it is enabled to accept cookies from my site.
Below is the forum admin url
http://guzmansgreenhouse.com/guzmans-forum/index.php?action=admin
I tried using the username and password that I gave via the fantastico program
I am receive the following message when I enter my username and password
"You should fill in a username".
Tried registering as a new user and using different username and password same thing.
all I did was install smf via the fantastico and cpanel at my hosting site.
Here is the URL for the forum:
http://www.guzmansgreenhouse.com/guzmans-forum/
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hello welcome to SMF
Dont know what and why but by some your reason your forum is not installed properly. I suggest you to reinstall again. If you face the same problem from fantasco you better do it manually
I see a problem...
The forum was installed without the "www." in the URLs, but the "www." is being added anyway (maybe by a redirection of some sort?). This is causing an issue with cookies - the forum is setting the cookie for "http://guzmansgreenhouse.com", but everything you access is at "http://www.guzmansgreenhouse.com".
To fix this, download the "repair_settings.php" file from the tools section of the downloads page, upload it to your forum directory and run it. Then change all the URLs to have the "www." in them and save the changes. This will allow you to login to your forum and should fix the other issues you're reporting as well.
Ask and you shall receive.
Yes...I asked for an answer to my problem and I received the answer.
Thanks Oldiesmann
