If you enabled the https for the Magento admin panel, then make sure to set "NO" for the option "Use HTTP Only" under System->configuration->web->Session and Cookie Management."

If you have access to the database then open the table "core_config_data" and search for the Path "web/cookie/cookie_httponly" and set the value to "0".

Make sure to delete the var/cache folder. Now try to login to Magento admin panel. Mostly you can now. If not post your issue in this thread.

So this "Not able to login Magento admin panel" issue mostly relates to the Magento cookies settings. So don't get worried if you encounter this tiny issue. With the list of answers in this thread you can easily sort this out in a few minutes time.
