Hi James,

According to what I have seen, drupal 7 no longer uses MD5 to save password and hence they will not accept the old passwords in case of transferring data from older versions.
I too faced this problem, the way i solved was, just click on lost your password, and a process is followed, you can try that, or else you can also try using "password-hash.sh" in scripts folder, to generate a password, and directly changing it in DB. I have not yet tried generating a password from this file, but if you dont get a solution, you can try this as well.

I have moved sites before this problem, but have never experienced this; I could use some troubleshooting advice.

I moved my domain from one hosting service (GoDaddy) to a new hosting service (HotDrupal).

This works fine.

I moved my website from one hosting service (Hostgator) to a new hosting service (HotDrupal).
 
Everything works fine and I was able to log in as /user/1 and work on the website at "ported.mywebsite.com".

** This is where the problem happens.

I can no longer log in as /user/1.
  • I told the Drupal application that I could not remember the password and it emailed me a one time log in that did not work.
  • I modified the password from phpmyadmin by creating a new one and adding MD5 hash. I cannot log in.
  • I changed a user's rid to administrator (a role I gave all permissions to) and logged in with that username but I was unable to login to the administration menu (even thought it is one of the allowed permissions within the admin role I created).

Some pertinent (?) information
Old       cPanel Version 11.28.83 | Apache version 2.2.17 | PHP version 5.2.15 | MySQL version 5.1.52
New     cPanel Version 11.28.76 | Apache version 2.2.16 | PHP version 5.2.14 | MySQL version 5.0.91-50-log

.htaccess looks okay.
settings.php looks okay.
