Adjust your security settings (Internet Options in IE) to allow cookies before trying to log in.

Those instructions are for Internet Explorer, the browser written by Microsoft, not for Apple / Safari.

You may be able to get around this.

Go to Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.

Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar

Now from your Safari menu bar top of your screen click Develop > User Agent

Try IE 9, 8, and 7.
