I have read around the internet that there was a redirection issue involved in the /wp-admin index that was causing people some issue. Perhaps this is what @Rick Mahn had experienced. Maybe what went wrong with yours.

Interestingly, I also had this issue. I couldn’t log into the admin panel no matter what account I tried.

Luckily, simply deleting the browser cookie for my sight in Firefox took care of the issue and I was able to log right in. Everything’s working fine after that.

I just (nervously) upgraded and it all went well. It stinks that you didn’t have the same experience… 2.6 is a nice update!

I was backed up. Really.

And no, I don’t have very many plugins at all. Only 8, and one’s for comments, one’s for SEO, one’s for FriendFeed.. you know, all content-side.

I am also faced this problem in 2.5.2 last week, and it happened after changing my password from my control panel. I thought my site is hacked.. After changing my password in the database and waited for a day without accessing my wp-login.php page. It came automatically after 1 day.. I don’t know how it came :)

Do you run any admin side plugins? I cannot think of anything that would be that major between 2.5.X and 2.6. I know there were plenty of enhancements but not sure what would have been done to cause breakage.

Anyway, I am glad your blog is back up. Hopefully you will be able to make the transition soon without issue.
