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).
- I created a new database and a sub-domain called "ported.mywebsite.com" inside of "mywebsite.com/sites". - I ran an import to the new database with the original website's data. - I moved all of the files, from the original website, into the new sub-domain directory. - The settings.php file did not need to be modified except for changing localhost to "127.0.0.1".
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 moved my website from "ported.mywebsite.com" to "mywebsite.com" on the server ("mywebsite.com" is the domain and "ported.mywebsite.com" is a sub-domain). - I ran an import to the database with "ported.mywebsite.com's" data. - I moved the "sites" directory from "ported.mywebsite.com" replacing " mywebsite.com's" sites directory.
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.

Well, these things are always complicated (but usually some simple "little" thing spoiling stuff...
Before making the copy of the database from ported.xxx.com, did you... (you know!) clear cache?
Try emptying the sessions table first, otherwise clear cache at ported and reimport the database, reset your browser and see.
The only other thing I am thinking about is the 127.0.0.1 ... in the settings file. If the prior suggestion does not work, try using a vanilla settngs.php ...

It might be the clean urls on the new installation are not working. If your source installation has clean urls enabled and working and you use that backup, you need to have clean urls enabled and working on the new installation. You could disable clean urls on the new site by logging in using /?q=user and then go to /?q=admin/settings/clean-urls and disable it there until you solved the server problem.
Good luck,

What does this mean? You gave the username and password, then? You've received 404 or received the login form with an error or…?

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.
