CMS Made Simple Forums

I still have a problem with login in as admin. My hosting provider supplied me a php.ini file. I created a folder "lwsessions" via ftp with CHMOD 777. I changed the session.save_path in php.ini to the new folder and uploaded it. When I run php.info() I can see that the session.save_path is set to "/lwsessions". So that part works. When I try to log in I still get the username/passwrod incorrect error. I ensured the username and password are correct (douyble checked in config.php).
Any thoughts what else I can do?
Thanks for your help again.

The config.php has the username and password for the database not the login info, that is stored in the DB...
