Hi,

Recently I upgraded our portal to the latest version, 5.2.3. After that, I'm not able to login.  From my dev environment, I skipped the authorizatio process, and went into the site's super user area. If I create a new user then, I'm able to login with that user without any issues. Or for the existing user if I reset the password using Reset link and then change the password, then using the new password I'm able to login. But with the old password I'm not able to login.

Did I miss/mess anything during upgrade ?

Thanks,

Jerry

How did you go about the upgrade? What version of DNN did you upgrade from?

It sounds like you likely overwrote the values in the MachineKey section of your web.config file. Those values are used for encrypting and decrypting passwords in the database. If you made a backup of your files (hopefully you did) try copying the encrypt and decrypt values from your old web.config file to your new one.
