First you can check a file that showing the issue; yes, I am talking about error log file which is inside your home path directory. By checking error log file will help you understand what is exactly causing the issue and showing white screen on the wp-admin page.

You have check the functions.php file of the theme if that has some extra space at the beginning of the code or end (at the end point)? If yes, remove that, save the file and upload on your server then check.

After refresh wp-admin page from your website it will show your WordPress login page. I think the issue solved “ERROR: Cookies are blocked due to unexpected output”.
