    admin cannot login

    Hi,

    I just upgraded my vb 3.6.8 to 3.7.0 but for this i downloaded my forum SQL and then uploaded the SQL with a new name and uploaded all the files of 3.7.0 in new folder

    then I used the install option and it says you already have vbulletin, need upgrade or new installation. I go for upgrade. everything goes fine and in the end, when i try to get access to my admincp, the window appears "thank you for loging in" and come back to the same admincp username and password window.

    I try several time, I disable all plugins through config.php " define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true); " but still it the same , welcome messege appears and then back to username and password window.

    how can I get access to my admincp now.. ?

    This is probably a cookie domain/path issue. To fix this, upload the tools.php script in the 'do_not_upload' folder of the vB zip file to your Admin CP directory and run it from your browser. Use this to reset the cookie domain and path back to the defaults. And then leave your cookie domain and path at the default settings. There is no reason to change these. If you need to specify a unique cookie, use the cookie prefix setting in config.php instead.
