    I have had that happen at times with WordPress. I just do a password re-set and login with new password.

    Try to reset the passwords setting from your hosting server or if you still get the error, Let wordpress know about it.

    Check for an email from your host. I received one yesterday and they are temporary disabling Wordpress logins due to a massive brute force going around. I just had to make an entry in my .htaccess file to allow my IP and I am able to log in now.

    Your host might have disabled your WP login page. Check with them to find out. Some hosts are temporarily requiring you to make a modification to your .htaccess file in order to access your WP admin area until this whole global mess ends.

    In order to access your WordPress login:


    In your /public_html folder, create a text file (if one does not already exist) and name it ".htaccess"


    Add the following text to the file:


    <Files ~ "^wp-login.php">
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all


    Allow from x.x.x.x
    </Files>



    You will need to replace x.x.x.x with your cur rent IP address.


    Not sure what your current IP is? Go to Google.com and type "what is my ip?"

    Try emptying your browser cache. It worked for me yesterday.

    Thanks micksss I had this problem today and it worked for me.
    I did clear cookies cache and so many things.
    If you still can't get in this might be the problem when you try to log in and it bounce back to login screen.In the address bar delete the string so that only http://yourdomain/wp-login.php will be in the address okay log in.To fix this problem go to settings general
    and see if WordPress Address and Site Address are the same if not make the same and it is fix.
