First try a different browser. If that does not work, please check your 
session handling settings in php.ini.

I had that problem once when I messed up my session handling which made 
it forgot the session directly, thus showing the login page directly 
again.

The user and password in typo3conf/localconf.php is your Database user. 
It has nothing to do with your backend.

You can use the Install Tool to create a new admin user.

BTW, you can check whether you are logged in successfully by adding an 
email address at admin warning address (Install Tool-->All configuration) 
and setting the warning level to every time an admin user logs in.
