Hey Jamon!
I'm new as well, i just logged on today.
I had the exact same problem as you, and i scoured the forum for help. No one knew anything.
So, i did something that EVERYONE tells you not to.
I logged in with my e-mail or user ID.
What i did is type in my e-mail or user ID and password, and press log in. It should take you to "Updating 0%" or something like that.
IMMEDIATELY CANCEL IT.
This will take you back to the Log In screen.
Now, put in your normal Username and Password.
Boom, it's working.
Worked for me flawlessly :) Please report back with your results :)
