[support] support Digest, Vol 133, Issue 8 > Disappearing user login

Roger,

You can also try using /?q=user as that sometimes will work. If not, you
definitely need the error logs to assist. It's usually something simple
with the settings that got messed up. If you use backup and migrate you can
restore the db if you can get into phpmyadmin.

If you have no backups, in your settings.php set "allowFreeAccess" to true.
It's commented out so uncomment, set to true and that should let you in.
Don't forget to set back to false. The other thing I've done is delete the
salt hash but don't close the settings.php and if you get in, you can
revert and save again. The AllowFreeAccess should work though.

Hopefully that helps. Good luck.
