Can't login into admin area

Question

I install Magento about 2-3 weeks ago. I've been using it for a few months in work and decided to start a new project store with it.

Then today i went to login and my username / password appeared to be wrong. I got no errors.. just refreshed to the same login screen.

I thought it might be my password so I did the forgot email thing and got the email to reset my password and I entered a new one and it still won't let me login.

I'm using the same PC as I also do to work. What can be wrong ?

I'm using Magento 1.9.3.7

EDIT-- I just looked at the error logs and this is appearing over and over

Is your frontend working? It seems from logs that php has lost write connection to db. — Vivek Kumar, Feb 26 '18 at 12:21
Yes it's working fine. I'm able to add products to check out etc. — DaveYme, Feb 26 '18 at 12:25

You need to enable PDO extension from your server.

Will this fix my login problem ? .. how was i able to login before ? – DaveYme Feb 26 '18 at 12:40
Maybe your web server is working not stable. Because I see in your log. – Vadym Kalin Feb 26 '18 at 16:29
My hosting provider says this ""I have checked the PDO extension and saw that it's already enabled for the account. It's not a server side issue, it's purely related to the Magento application and a developer can sort out the issue easily."" --- So i'm not sure where to go now. – DaveYme Feb 27 '18 at 09:00
