I had that bug and fixed it 2 weeks ago.
Lemme remeber what I did...

I tryed all suggestions. What worked was phpmyadmin and tweeking something in there, I changed the admin password in one of the field in the database. Do a google search for phpmyadmin loop nuke and should pull of some helpful information.

why what is wrong with them and did you get the confeirmation email?

nope.. no confirmation email i'm afraid Sad

If you have phpMyAdmin (or similiar) try looking at entries in nuke_bbconfig .. change the cookie name and check the domain paths.

also in nuke_config check the site url is set to the nuke/ directory and not to root. If you need a tool to help try MySQL Front-end available here

Well stick at it.. if you authorise my account and send me a PM to let me know I'll have a look at your site and see if I can spot the problem.
