Assigning admin invalidates the user

I am experiencing an issue as I am following the tutorial and currently at the end of chapter 10. When I use toggle in the rails console to flip the admin property of a user from false to true (I'm trying to create an Admin user), I am successful in doing so, however that user becomes invalid, when I try to log in to the application with this user's credential I am getting an error that the credentials are incorrect (even though they are) ... just from checking the logs and the looking at the terminal, it seems the authenticity token is either missing or incorrect... any ideas what I am doing wrong here? I tried following the tutorial as close as possible, I doubt I missed something, but its obviously possible..

Thank you and best regards!
