Get back to me if you still have problems.

Thanks!! I assumed it was something just this simple, but this never occurred to me. (Due to site-politics, all of the admins are regular users with "admin" as a secondary usergroup. We have one primary admin user that we can log in as for special site announcements and, of course, situations just like this. It just never occurred to me. )

I get in just fine now. Thanks bunches!!
