I have recently moved some of my older sites to a new server and now I am unable to login. These sites are Drupal 4.7 and are going to be phased out so there is no need to update. I have cleared the cache and session tables in the DB and cleared my local cache. Also did a cron.php

Details
Enter credentials at /user
login confirm screen shows and the admin links block shows
when I click any of the 'Admin' links next screen goes to the custom 'page not found' page

Is there any other things I can do?

The new server has probably newer PHP version. Drupal 4.7.x did not support PHP 5.2 until 4.7.5 AFAIK, the problem is that drupal cannot maintain a session (which seems to be exactly your issue). Try upgrading (preferably to drupal 6, last release of 4.7.x was 4.7.11 in january 2008).
