Installed D7 can't logon

I just installed D7 and the admin login and password do not work

I tried changing the salt and password per this post http://www.boonex.com/unity/forums/?action=goto&search=1#topic/Admin-Login-2010-02-10.htm  and that did not work.

I wanted to try "joining" as a new user and altering the user to be an admin, but even though the capcha displays, the form does not accept correctly typed in values as valid, so I can't even add a user.

Is there a table where I can turn capcha off completely?  I could go into PhpMyAdmin and turn Capcha off, add a user, then change the user to be an admin.

any help or other solution is appreciated

Have you tried the "Forgot Password" feature and enter the Admin email address?

the capcha field on the forgot passwod form won't accept a correctly typed in string either.. so I'm stuck

Not sure what has happened, but since you have just installed it. Just re-install Dolphin. It only takes about 10-20 minutes. YOu will spend more time trying to figure it out then just re-installing.

I can give install another shot, but I don't hold out much hope. I've already installed it twice. but what the hey.. i'll try one more time

Just make sure its a clean install and clean database.. :)

Make sure your php version meets dolphin requirements. Password issues on new installes are usally releated to a older version of the set_cookie function.

So make sure server meets requirements.

Also check this page for needed php.ini settings.

Also make sure your web browser is set to accept cookies.

I'm pretty sure the environment is correct, I'm running D6 on another site on the same server.

It an Apache server, running php5, and the install checking mechanism didn't find anything wrong..

I like the idea of the capcha, but I'd be happy to turn it off if I can get a password sent to me, or add another user that I can make an admin..

do you know which table the capcha on/off setting is in?

OK I got Capcha to work by adding php.ini to the top level directories.. it contains

safe_mode = Off
get_magic_quotes_gpc = On
allow_url_include = Off
register_globals = Off
upload_max_filesize=300M
post_max_size=300M
max_executi alt=16000
max_input_time=16000

I then added a new user, and within phpmyadmin, chaged the new user role to "3" giving the new user admin privleges, then changed the old admin password
