I'm not sure why this works, but if you check the remember me for 14 days box IE then lets you login. Without it yields no error messages but redisplays the login form. My hack to fix this was to write some javascript at the bottom of the file to have the box checked by default, however I think there is a much better and more reliable solution that can be implemented on the server side. If you would direct me to the applicable files I would look into finding the fix for you, please let me know.
