Magento: Can't log into admin

Question

I have moved my Magento installation to a different host, and changed the domain name. I have also switched from using https to http.

For some reason, I can not log into the admin area. When I click on "log in", nothing happens - it just reloads the page.

If I click on "Forgot your password", it asks me to enter my email, but there the same thing happens - it just reloads the page, without doing anything.

I have tried changing the secure/unsecure base URL, deleting var/cache but nothing seems to work so far.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Thanks for the replies. This was not an upgrade. Just a move. I did search before posting, and did not have any luck with the previous answers. — user2694249, Dec 28 '13 at 18:22

Check if the secure and insecure url are correct in db

If they are correct remove all the sub-folder of var for example: var/cache

Then refresh the cache in cache management

Thanks for the suggestions. I have manually changed secure/insecure URLs in the database. Deleted var/cache. Still no luck. :( – user2694249 Dec 28 '13 at 18:21
did you refresh the `cache` in **cache management**? – atiquratik Dec 28 '13 at 18:40
Hi - I can not log into admin. That's the main issue :) – user2694249 Dec 28 '13 at 19:14
