I'm trying to replicate a live site locally using Windows and WAMP and have run into a permissions problem. None of the user credentials work and login attempts inevitably result in an "Access Denied" error.

The rest of the site is properly configured and the front end is apparently fine.

I'm able to run Drush and using user-create or user-password says it worked, but it doesn't. All login attempts still result in "Access Denied".

I have exported and imported the database multiple times (I'd be embarassed to give an exact number) with Backup and Migrate and also with phpMyAdmin.. All seems to be in order.

I have used scripts from drupal.org to reset the password, they say they work, but don't. I've re-salted and tried manually editing the database.Cleared caches and cookies over and over.  I have multiple Drupal installations and databases running on the same WAMP stack without issues.

I was wondering if I'm missing anything obvious?
