 * have you attempted these troubleshooting steps a recommended in the [3.5 post](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/troubleshooting-wordpress-35-master-list?replies=4):
 * ■flushing any caching plugins you might be running, as well as server and/or 
   browser caches.
    ■deactivating all plugins (yes, all) to see if this resolves
   the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find
   the problematic plugin(s). If you can’t get into your admin dashboard, try resetting
   the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin (read [http://bit.ly/UhpkLl](http://bit.ly/UhpkLl)
   if you need help). Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.
   Also remember to deactivate any plugins in the mu-plugins folder. The easiest
   way is to rename that folder to mu-plugins-old (read [http://bit.ly/WMrMM5](http://bit.ly/WMrMM5)
   for more information on mu-plugins) ■switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to 
   rule out any theme-specific problems. If you can’t log in to change themes, you
   can remove the theme folders via FTP so the only one is twentyeleven. That will
   force your site to use it. ■manually upgrading. When all else fails, download
   a fresh copy of the latest.zip file of 3.5 (top right on this page) to your computer,
   and use that to copy up. You may need to delete the wp-admin and wp-includes 
   folders on your server. Read the Manual Update directions first: [http://bit.ly/RbU5qG](http://bit.ly/RbU5qG)

 * I can’t get into my admin dashboard. I went to my FTP and changed the name of
   the file plugins.php to plugins.hold, but i still can’t log into my admin dashboard.

 * besides renaming the plugin folder, have you for example switched to the default
   twenty twelve theme?
