Setup WordPress site but now can't access login page

Hello,

So I migrated a site from Managed WordPress account with GoDaddy to a Reseller Account with HostGator and the site works fine on the front end and everything is good.

However when I try to log into the backend nothing happens:

http://rec-rentals.com/wp-admin http://rec-rentals.com/wp-login.php

Any ideas why this is happening?

Hey Brandon, Did you change the default password used when creating the site? I had the same issue and had to 1) change my password of my local site 2) download my database locally 3) ftp database to new site and 4) then was able to login to the back end. The password may be getting encrypted and needs to be regenerated for pasting into a different location. Hope this helps.
