            $('#loginUnlock').css({opacity: 1});
            document.cookie="username=Admin";
            setTimeout(function(){ window.location.replace = 'vault.php';}, 1500);
        } else {
            alert("Forkert brugernavn eller password");

• javascript
• authentication
• delay
• settimeout
• window.location

• 2 change window.location.replace to window.location.href – A1rPun Commented Apr 29, 2014 at 13:51

You can use window.location.href

 setTimeout(function(){ window.location.href= 'vault.php';}, 1500);

instead of

setTimeout(function(){ window.location.replace = 'vault.php';}, 1500);

Use javascript's setTimeout method:

// redirect to google after 5 seconds
window.setTimeout(function() {
    window.location.href = 'http://www.google.';
}, 5000);

Why are using window.location.replace? Maybe tha'ts the problem!

**assign(url):** Load the document at the provided URL.
**replace(url):** Replace the current document with the one at the provided URL. The difference from the  assign() method is that after using  replace() the current page will not be saved in session history, meaning the user won't be able to use the Back button to navigate to it.

Try using just windows.location.url = ""; And about usin jQuery, just use setTimeOut JS method. Don't mix if not necessary jQuery and Javascript
