Unable to login to Administrator

[childsafecenter]

Unable to login to Administrator. All I get is a blank screen.

I don't get a blank screen. I get the logon page. And, you don't need the index.php in path.

This is what I get AFTER I enter my login information. The index.php shows up at the end of the address then.

A blank page is usually a PHP error with PHP Error Reporting off.
Switch on the PHP Error Reporting on your server (in configuration.php) and/or on the server via .htaccess.
That way you'll get to know the real error which you should solve to get it working.

I looked at the error log in cpanel and this is what I am seeing. It seems there is a code 406 error?

A "couple" (if not 'tons' of issues here. Your website runs Joomla 2.5.8 which is completely outdated and HIGHLY vulnerable. Update as the devil as a first emergency step to Joomla 2.5.28 and after that you can update to Joomla 3.7.3 by following these steps viewtopic.php?f=710&t=793171

The error you post is an error for a WP login and not for Joomla. Peter asked you to switch on error reporting in Joomla and set to maximum and post any errors you encounter here.

Leo - if I am unable to login to the backend of my site how do I update Joomla or turn on the error log?

I Get the exact same problem since a few days. To me it looks like it is some problems with the Google Analytics. Anyone who have a solution to how I get rid of that problem when I can not get into the admin?

Since the problem looks like it is triggered by Google Analytics, can anyone advice me how to disable that plugin and hopefully be able to solve the problem...
The problem is that I need to disable it from outside the admin since I can not log in there. I have to go in to the database an disable it manually...
