I've seen a corrupt sessions MySQL table cause problems too.

Since this *really* sounds just like the "cookies not enabled in
browser" situation, I just wanted to mention something I'm sure you
already tried, which is accessing it from a different browser or computer.
It's trivial to make all drupal logins stop working: You just turn off
cookies in the browser, and it works just like you're describing.

You can always edit the database directly.
It sounds like a cookie problem, though. Try setting the cookie
domain explicitly in your settings.php file to just example.com
<http://example.com> (not www.example.com
<http://www.example.com>, or whatever).
Also, check to make sure that uid 0 is still intact in the
database. That's another common source of weirdness, in my experience.

Hi,
Is there a backdoor way to force admin login if everything
fails? Something like the way $update_free_access is changed
to TRUE to allow running update.php....?
A client got locked out of D6.15 completely, including admin.
Login seems to work (I see admin only links on logon), cookies
are set, but only on the initial page.... any subsequent click
is treated as done by an anonymous user (checked the watchdog
this way). I've cleared all browser caches, Drupal caches via
the db, also the Drupal sessions table, checked the cookie
domain, the admin user record exists in the user table, etc.
in settings.php, deleted and re-uploaded D6.15. Nothing in the
php logs. Nothing unusual in watchdog - just access denied by
anonymous... Spent an equivalent of a day on this but I know
there is a ton of things I can still try - e.g. rebuild access
rights. But I do need to log in first, only by myself. So...
is there a way to force admin login? Cannot find this info
anywhere.
Thanks!
Tomáš
