I'm locked out of my drupal installation (6.9). Been using the installation for about a week, without problems. Today all users cannot log in. This was "out of the blue", no new updates, module installs. Worked yesterday, locked out today.

Upon entering the password, you get:
Access denied
You are not authorized to access this page.

I've added
drupal_page_footer();
$GLOBALS['tempUser'] = $user;
to index.php with no luck.

I've changed the password in the database for user 1 without luck.
I've reset my browser, cache, cookies still no luck.

I'd gladly pay $20 to someone who can help fix this. I've run drupal on multiple sites for years and not run into such a head scratcher.

Thanks!

I don't know if this helps but try to check settings file and confirm that $base_url is commented. I had similar issue and commenting $base_url solved it

Doesn't make a difference, $base_url commented and uncommented and I'm still locked out.

Assuming you have access to your database, try this - http://drupal.org/node/44164

A block with google analytics was just added before the issue, but I don't see how that would effect the login.

For "out of the blue" peculiarities I would suggest checking with your web host and see if they've made any recent server configuration changes.

You might try emptying (truncate) the sessions table and clearing the browser cookies.

You might also try turning off clean URLs.
