    Greetings!

    I have a funny little problem: I can't get into my site. It's running MODX Revolution 2.3.3 and whenever I try to login to the manager with the correct username and password, I get the error message that either one of them is wrong ("The username or password you entered is incorrect. Please check the username, re-type the password, and try again.").

    I used copy&paste for the password, so I know it's correct. And the username is only three characters, I think I hit those keys correctly, too.

    Even though, I followed the advice on this page to reset my password. The API script executed successfully (at least it said so) but it did not change anything. I still can't login.

    I googled the problem but could not find anything really helpful. I only came across this test script. But it says that there's nothing wrong with my config.

    In case this is relevant: The site is hidden behind a .htaccess protected area. It was running an older version of MODX before (2.2.14, I think). I upgraded it recently to 2.3.3. But I was able to log in after that at least twice (probably more, I didn't count it).

    Any suggestion as to how I can get back into my own website? I'd really like to get back into my site.

      Weird. Seems to be working again. I don't think I did anything, just made a full backup of the site in case I needed to reinstall everything.
