If you're on the select server screen, make sure you select Nostalrius Begins, as it's the only realm non-beta testing players can create and play with characters.

Also check your World of Warcraft Classic\WTF\Account folder. Inside the Account folder is a listing of more folders each labeled after various accounts you've logged in and created characters with. Check to see if you're logging in with the wrong account.
