Description
There seems to be some issues with users having problems with "bad passwords" on fresh installs (see here among others). I experienced something similar during my initial install and it had nothing to do with the password, but with the id for "username" when logging in. Since Plogger uses $_REQUEST variables to check for the username and password, it was pulling in a previous cookie from another portion of my site that used the default $_COOKIEusername? which did not match the default 'admin' during initial setup. To fix this, I changed the code to use 'plog-username' and 'plog-password' for login id tags.
