Well those changes did not help and now I cannot get to the admin panel at all. I can log in, and I have the link to Admin, but as soon as I go to another page, or even REFRESH the current page, I am logged out.
Any idea how I should proceed?
thanks!
PS - Also, I have followed the instructions here (the deleteme part) for adding a new admin user:

If I log in using deleteme it lets me login, but immediately has the same issue when I try to access the admin panel - I get taken back to the login screen with the message: "Permission Denied Sorry, you don't have enough rights to continue."
