Seems to be an issue with my admin login. I used the login details I created when I installed SS.
When I login nothing happens, the page stays on the login and the url changes from:

http://peds.org/_devsite/Security/login

to:

http://peds.org/_devsite/Security/login#MemberLoginForm_LoginForm_tab

would indicate that the login failed and it redirected you back to the form you submitted. Make sure you admin details are correct otherwise try adding this to mysite/_config.php

Security::set_default_admin("test", "test");

then try login to yoursite.com/admin with test / test

Security::setDefaultAdmin("user", "crazynewpassword");

Ok, I got this working, how do I edit my login details or add new admins?

So I timed out my brief time on the admin section and again it wont let me login.

Is there something I need to purge? cache?

You should be allowed to login with that account again theres no limit etc.. You can create new admins the same way as you do normally - by clicking the Security link at the top and creating a new member entry in the Adminstrators folder

For some reason adding that bit of code just isnt working.

Security::setDefaultAdmin("admin", "test");

Is there a proper place for it inside the config file? Should it not just work?

I'm loosing my mind as to why it would work once and not again.
