Reset the Login Page on a DotNetNuke Installation

Issue

When you go to your DNN website either your login link is missing or you click the login button and are taken to a page that does not have a logon module on it. You are not able to log in and may see the following error:



Resolution 1- Login link missing

1. Go to this URL: http://YourDomainName.com/login.aspx (replace YourDomainName.com with your domain name). This should take you to the login page to login to your site.

Resolution 2 - Login page misdirecting
These steps require you to have Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio installed on your computer.  Microsoft SQL Server Mangement Studio Express 2008 is available for free from Microsoft, and can be downloaded through this link: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=22985
