[SOLVED] - Can't login to admin panel

I installed OpenCart 3.0.2.0 but i can't login to admin panel. I get redirected again to the login page and there is a user token as a query parameter in the URL. But can't access it. please help

I had the same problem with OC 3.0.2.0
Can anyone help ?

nvm found the solution from this post viewtopic.php?p=680870#p680870

Had same Admin Login problem and solved it by:

Changed the login name from an email address to a simple name with no special characters, and did the same with the password, and it worked!

HISTORY: Using Softaculous I unistalled OpenCart and reinstalled it again but changed the admin login to a simple name with no special characters, and the same with the password.

Worked like a charm with no error and no login problems!

Well, an OC Admin Section does not use eMail Addresses to log in, but the Admin
Name, declared during the installation Process, and the matching Password.
And this should be one word only, by Nature of Things!

I have to thank you for this post. I spent all night working on a new website for my client. I was so tired yesterday I logged out but then wanted to do one more thing. I logged back in but couldn't get in. I just installed a new mod for a newsletter and thought some how my database got corrupted. I kept changing the password and wouldn't work. I searched opencart and found this thread. I felt so dumb but relieved to go to sleep. I was using my email to login not a username.

Hi
I cant find my admin login page anymore! when i go to domain/admin i get domain/install/index.php instead

any hints? that happened after i just used filezilla to replace the admin, catalogue, image, system folders with the ones I got from themeforest

thanks!

I installed Opencart v3.0.3.2 and I got the same problem and resolved after a lot of time on Google search
When I saw @IP_CAM reply I changed my password to a simple word and it worked, but I cannot use a simple password, so I tried to make it more complex by adding on symbol each time.
Finally I discovered that using > or < symbols caused the error, now my password contains small, upper, digits and symbols $#@ and worked fine

You need to remove (delete) your installation directory if you've not done this yet (/install). This increases your site security alot too!

.htaccess, config.php and / or admin/config.php configuration issues.

Double post: viewtopic.php?f=199&t=186163&start=20#p830393

so it was not the configuration at all it was the time zone!
i removed the time zone from the SQL _Settings>config_timezone>"Made it blank"
BAM im now able to log in

Where is this located?

Bless you for posting this.
I just spent hours today trying to figure out why I could not log back into admin.

Even posted a request for help and its still waiting for the moderator to decide to let it be posted.

Meanwhile, I continued down the road of htaccess issues, subdomain setup issues, config or admin/config issues. No changes to any of those files or setups made any difference. I could not log back in.

But
I saw your post, cracked open the setting table and looked for the timezone variable... emptied it out, saved the table, and now I can log in.

That was it for me as well! Thank you!
I would guess that only people that have their servers in different timezones experience this problem? My server is in the UK, and I'm in Eastern (US) Time

BTW, if you need to find it, go to oc_setting in your database, and scroll way down. Mine was at line/setting id 222 ... so maybe show 200 rows at a time and use ctrl-F to find config_timezone
