Locked out: automatic wordpress upgrade woes

This morning I decided to a bit of maintenance work on my blog and noticed that my Worpress installation was out of date with the current release. I was running 2.5.1 and 2.6.0 is now available.

I had used the automatic upgrade plugin for my last upgrade and everything went very smoothly. This time, however, I was unable to log into the admin console after completing the upgrade.

It seems that there is a browser cache issue, or perhaps something specific to Firefox 3. I tried using the lost password feature and received a magic URL via email, but this also failed to work. After finding this post during an initial google search, I tried getting to my site via Safari and that worked. Anyhow, perhaps this saves you some panic if you find yourself in the same situation.
