We have a most peculiar situation. While developing a theme in zen starterkit and following tuts and videos, etc the user login ceased to function. Cannot log in even with localhost/mydrupal/user which is how I normally login. All we get is a blank screen. Google suggested some overriding code to go into the page.tpl.php, which allowed login but returns the new theme screen but no admin even if we enter localhost/mydrupal/admin in the url. /user is core functionality, file template and css are all available, we have not changed any core files.
I used drush to make garland the default theme and tried to drush disable the zen theme but both fail. drush returns an error request -drush clear-cache drush which in turn returns the same error.
I did drush up to install drupal 7.25 and update modules but it did not help. Cannot find anything we have done in the dev theme which may relate to /user login or admin.
most perplexing. How would we solve the lack of admin and why would login cease to function?
Help much appreciated Roger
Blank screen is generally an error of some sorts. Check your server logs. A common cause is output being sent before headers. That can be caused by echoing something out before the headers are sent, or having a closing ?> at the end of a PHP file and something after it, even a blank line.

Such a blank page is usually termed WSOD and d.o has a pretty exhaustive checklist for debugging it.
https://drupal.org/node/158043
From the checklist:
1) Enable Error Reporting by adding a snippet of code to your index.php 2) Check Apache (and PHP) Logs 3) Do not include the closing ?> on a PHP file. 4) Check for PHP4 Syntax Errors and Incompatibility 5) .. 6)..
The list is long. More @ https://drupal.org/node/158043
