Was having the same problems, and I had a look at the code, and the reason is that the default installation adds the incorrect encoded password through the install script.
The login checks using the password function password('password') which would be
*2470C0C06DEE42FD1618BB99005ADCA2EC9D1E19
but is set to a shorter string by default. Change the admin user password field to be the above using phpMyAdmin, and you can log in for the first time using the password "password" - which you can then change afterwards to whatever you like using the admin screens.
Please provide more details
Please provide more details - is this on a hosted ladder or your own ladder? Which version are you using etc.
Same things
I actually had the same issue...

I ended up creating a new user and then giving that username admin rights and deleted the old user using phpmyadmin.
That worked, but no matter what I did the script said wrong password when I used password for the password.
