I have installed Magento 1.9 into the htdocs of xampp, using the theme Milano. The front end seems to be working perfectly well but I cant access the back end.

As you can see, there are 2 input text boxes for password! I know the user name and password and have tried several combinations to somehow log in, but the output is always this page.

I'm a newbie here so please bear with me. Thanks already.

This is a consequence of having magento locally. To fix this you have to comment out some code roughly placed in code/core/mage/core/session/varien....if I am remembering the path correctly there should be only one file in this directory and your looking for a chunk of code tracking cookies

As Chris Richardson says, it is a problem caused by local installation. To "trick" your browser, add a virtualhost in xampp for your local magento, and add a entry to host file: 127.0.0.1 www.example.dev where www.example.dev must match the host name you give when you create the virtualhost.

You can change secure and unsecure url as follows.

Customer cannot login to magento 1.8.1

After setting this, it will work.
