Here are the reasons and the solutiuons depending on what version of P6 that you are using

There are few possible causes for this issue:

1. A license does not exist for the application (only applicable for P6 v4.0 - P6 v6.2.1).

3. The user does not have a license or module access to the application.
4. The user does not have a resource assigned to it

Yes i am %100 sure about it.

Thank you for detailed explanation Zoltan.

But these are not applicable for my situation because i am not able to login even once.  So there is no chance to login as admin.

And finally a solution suggested by Michael Lepage works well.

I put the link below for people who is looking for help on this matter.
