Web GUI login error "CSRF verification failed" after 9.3 Update, ssh login ok

[Prasanth]

So I upgraded from 9.2.8 to 9.3 this morning
I did run into 1 hiccup in the install where my original USB wouldn't load up after the upgrade procedure

I then put in the full install on a different usb drive. I completed the install, logged into the webgui and re-installed my previous data from a saved backup file. After a final restart I am able to access the shell via ssh .
It confirms I am on
"FreeBSD 9.3-RELEASE-p5 (FREENAS.amd64)"

I can login and have full access to the system.

The problem I have is when I try to login from the web gui I keep getting "CSRF verification failed. Request aborted."
I changed the password a few times from the system itself(option 7) without resolution. Just wondering how I could gain access to the web gui again.

thanks for the help

Check to see if there's a saved certificate in your browser's certificate area and delete the old one.

Sorry a bit of a newbie....I know I set up https when I first setup the system. Now it is loading the site view http. also I'm not able to find any old certificates. I am accessing the system via chrome on OSX 10.10

thanks for all the help

Then try deleting the browser cache as well as all cookies. Alternately, try a browser that you have never used to access freenas.

Ok I've cleared the cache on safari and chrome but running into the same error. Is there something else I can do to get the gui to work. Also downloaded opera and tried opening in there which I've never used before but same issue
