Cannot login to Joomla site admin

0	Just installed Joomla! 1.7. I cannot login using admin and the password I created at app setup. I've also tried my db name to no avail. Any suggestions? Can I have special characters in the pass? joomla password asked 06 Sep '11, 18:02 FredFred 19●8●17 accept rate: 33%

One Answer:

Looks like you've found a bug in our Joomla installer - it does appear to have a problem with special characters in the password.

I located your Joomla app in our control panel and fixed the admin password for you, so you should be able to log in with your chosen password now.

I'll let our sysadmins know about the issue so that we can get the installer fixed.

Sorry for the trouble!
