Did what ravenzmoon post help you out. Have you tried to clear your browser cache and/or use another browser to sign in.

They did not lock themselves out or erase their admin account, so ravenzmoon's suggestion will not work. It sounds like something has changed on the server... perhaps /tmp is no longer writable? Ask your host. If so, you might have to create your own "tmp" under your site root directory (make sure it is r/w by at least PHP) and update whoever is configured to use /tmp to use this new "tmp" directory instead (session.save_path in php.ini?). I'm pretty sure this has been discussed before, so do some searching before trying anything.
