I've actually answered this question, but thought I'd put it up here to save anyone else the wasted hours since upgrading to 3.3.
I was able to login at the front-end, so knew the password was working. However, it just returned to the login screen without error in /administrator.
Edit the configuration.php file in the root directory and make sure that the cookie domain is either has www. prefixed or not depending on your host's preference.

I'm using magento 1.9, and made sure that my var and media folder's permissions are on 777.
I can't seem to login into the admin panel even with the correct login details.
The problem seems to be frequent in many installation,i guess it the the cookie problem.
Have a look at the link below it may solve the issue.

Magento Can't login to my account on ios server
Hope this will help.
I have mybb forum on my website.
I am trying to make changes to my website.
I downloaded the contents of my website to localhost/wamp/www
Website works fine. When I try to login into mybb forum, it get redirected to login page again despite of the correct login.
Can someone tell me whats going wrong?
After debugging, I believe this could be a problem with localhost sessions.
Any help would be appreciated very much!
I understood that the session variables are not getting stored, however, the session files are being created.
What is the solution for wamp localhost sessions issue?
The problem is with the cookie domain.
Login as forum admin. Goto Configuration --> settings --> general settings
Clear the field: Cookie Domain
In case your admin login fails or you are not able to select configuration after your login don't worry!
Open the file: /forum/inc/settings.php
Search for $settings['cookiedomain'] and set the field to empty string.
Now you can login into MyBB in your localhost!!
I know that that similar issues and topics exist, however my issue differs slightly and none of the proposed fixes have worked.
I was accessing the Magento backend as normal. Approximately 10 minutes after that I could no longer access the Magento backend.
What I mean is that when I go to the admin url login page, I get a 404. However the 404 isn't generated by my host, it's generated by my webstore.
Everything about my webstore works as normal.
I've seen a number of fixes, mainly this one...

I have a few main issues.
Admin Custom URL had been set (but not by me). It was set over a year ago when Magento was installed. It worked entirely fine until today.
I do not even have "admin/url/custom" and "admin/url/use_custom" in my "core_config_data" PHP table. It simply does not exist so I cannot change it. I looked manually for it and did a search for it. Nothing.
I tried updating the local.xml file and clearing "var/caches" and "var/sessions" but that did not work either.
I've been working this for hours and it's beyond frustrating. It's imperative that this be fixed ASAP because we are a fairly sizeable company.
Thanks ahead for helping. Anything at all would be appreciated.
First Check your Apache configurations
I know that you said you were only in the Magento admin but I would first check that apache was configured correctly. This is the first point of contact and you need to ensure that it's working right.
You need to locate a default Magento htaccess file that you can upload to your server. There's additional configurations that you need to make if you're in a subdirectory and also check to make sure that your mod_rewrite is working properly. There's an extensive tutorial on these things here, magento htaccess.
Make sure that you have the right magento admin url
I have to assume that you know what your magento admin url is, but of course I would double check that you're getting it right. There is an option in the admin area to change the admin url, you could have adjusted that on accident.
You say that you don't have "admin/url/custom" and "admin/url/use_custom" in your core_config_data table. This actually means that you didn't set the magento admin url from the admin area. However there is a third place that you can look for your admin url. This is in app/etc/local.xml but you couldn't have changed this from the administration area.
Did you turn off search engine friendly urls?
If you had been accessing your administrative area using /admin and then accidentally turned off SEF urls, then your admin area could have just simply moved to /index.php/admin. Of course you mentioned that you have a custom admin url, but I don't know what that is, so I'm giving examples with the default.
I can't really give you any more suggestions without more information. I hope that this helps!
Found this and thought I would post here since it shows up in google.

I have recently moved my joomla site to another hosting. But now the site doesn't work. Shows blank page. Though the administrator's page (/administrator) is shown and works correctly. Have any ideas for what reason it can be?
Remove the .htaccess altogether
clear the cache and tmp folders
make sure db name, login and password are correct in the configuration.php
make sure the server path (tmp and logs folders) are correct
if you still get an empty page, make sure you're looking at the right log file. Turn php error logging on or display them.
post some more details here...
So, I installed a new joomla 1.523 (via Fantastico) on my server, but event though I have the domain name set, I haven't registered it yet. Now I need to acess joomla, and I can't.
I already did this with a Moodle server, and I know I had to change a config file to set the url to the IP. So basically I should acess it with:
http://190.190.190.190/~user
(This ip doesen't exist, just making an example).
But I always get an error trying to acess it, even though I get redirected to:
http://190.190.190.190/~user/installation/index.php
Anyone know what I need to change to get this to work?
(I tried messing around with the configuration.php file in the root of my server, but there is nothing there like a url path variable to change, I think)
After installing Joomla, the installation folder needs to be removed (or moved, or renamed), otherwise any access will be redirected there.
