This morning I went to make some updates to the website I manage, and when I entered the user/1 login information I got an "Access Denied" message. I've tried logging in with one of the other two userids and I'm getting the same message.

I've done some research and not able to find anything that relates to all users being denied access.

I've attempted to reset the password (user/password), and when I click on the email link to reset the password I get the Access Denied message again.

Hosting service is running PHP 4.4.7, and drupal version is 5.1.

Anyone experienced this issue before, and have a solution to offer?

Considering the fact that you left your site using Drupal 5.1 it is highly possible your site was hacked. check your DB for user 1 , is it there ?

no signs of being hacked. user/1 is still in the DB.
