I'm getting an exception when I try to login as admin:

ArgumentException: Invalid value for 'encryptedTicket' parameter.] System.Web.Security.FormsAuthentication.Decrypt(String encryptedTicket) +2267987 DotNetNuke.HttpModules.DNNMembershipModule.OnAuthenticateRequest(Object s, EventArgs e) +1771 System.Web.SyncEventExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication.IExecutionStep.Execute() +92 System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously) +64

It only happens for admin, but if I try to login afterwards with another user, it gives the same exception.  If I delete cookies and restart the browser, then I can run as another user, but not admin.  I think that it may be a password issue.  Does anyone have any suggestion?  I can still login as host.

Hello Mitch,

I reset the password from the host account, as you suggested, but I still get the same problem.  I have had to create a new tempadmin user to fulfill the admin role.  Is there a way to remove the old admin account and restore it?

I've also just seen this crop up.  I'm on 4.4.1 and I haven't (personally) logged in for about 3 days.  Today was the first user reports. 

I logged into the box to rar-up backups last night and funny enough the backups are working a-ok on my dev station.  Also, another 4.4.1 portal on the same box is still a-ok?  

I plan no trying a quick upgrade but is there something funky going on?
