Unable to log into the Django admin

Question

Im trying to log into the admin GUI but keep getting the error :

Please enter a correct username and password. Note that both fields are case-sensitive.

Ive created a new user, dropped all the db tables for auth_xxx and resynced. And also checked that the is_staff,is_active,is_superuser flags are all true within the db.

Does anyone have any other ideas ?

Have you looked at and followed the directions in the second answer at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6751434/cant-login-to-django-admin-interface ? — George Cummins, May 28 '13 at 13:21
did you sync after creating a new user? You can always create another user from the shell prompt - `./manage.py createsuperuser` — karthikr, May 28 '13 at 13:57

The following within the settings.py resolved the issue

django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend
