Moved Servers - Can't Log In Now

[Apea]

I moved my host, which included moving SMF.  I downloaded my old MySQL database, installed SMF on the new host, imported my old database into the new database.

When I go to the new forum, I can see everything, including the messages.  But it will not accept my password!  I tried the repair_settings.php and everything is fixed.  Still can't log in with the password.

Are you getting any errors?  Did you use the same version of SMF as before?

[Scubasteve]

this happened to me one time. i fixed it by changing the name of the cookie. You can give that a try by editing settings.php

[Apea]

Yes, it's the same version of SMF.

I tried changing the cookie but didn't work.

Do you get any errors when you try to login?  Can you post a link to your forum?

[Apea]

Until the DNS propagates it is at:  hxxp:72.9.238.138/~slqkean/things [nonactive]

Error in the log is:
?action=login2

Password incorrect - <span class="remove">Hellfire</span>

And I know I'm typing the password in correctly.....on the old site, I had to log in twice before it would accept the password, could that be causing it to be worse now?

Maybe I'll try a fresh install, and import everything BUT the member list, see if that resolves it....not many members, can easily just have them re-register, the content is more important IMHO.

Looks like I got it resolved.

For some reason everything imported fine, but the member list did not import correctly.  For my Admin login, it would not work.  I deleted it in SQL, created a new login, gave it admin rights in SQL.  Logged to the board just fine.  Created my original Login, gave that Admin rights and now everything is good.
