When it does this, typically it means the password OR username are not
correct (or both).
I would suggest trying the username all lowercase (mine only works
lowercase for admin user), just to eliminate that.
And if worst comes to worst, you can always setup the admin password
again yourself (this is the recovery procedure for when you've lost the
admin permissions as well - but worth trying if you want a quick fix).

To access the user settings once you've logged in as a superuser, go to
the url (assuming default setup on a webserver called
yourwebservername:port):
http://yourwebservername:port/xwiki/bin/inline/XWiki/Admin

Subject: [xwiki-users] Cannot log in as admin after install
Hello,
I am running XWiki 0.9.840. I am on Windows XP, using Tomcat 5.5.17
with MySQL 5.0.22. I dropped the .war and the application deployed fine
and the home page loads. However I cannot log in with Admin/admin ... I
don't get an error message, the page just submits back to itself with a
blank username and password field. There are some errors being written
to the console... in fact, there are WARNs for just about every page
view. This is the entry from when I submit the login form:
10:37:07,000 WARN http-8080-Processor25

And here are a few more while clicking around the site:

Any advice you could give would be greatly appreciated! I am planning
on configuring LDAP after I verify the wiki operating properly... but I
need to get admin access to do that!
Thanks,
Cliff
