It's giving me all kind of troubles upon installation.<br /> Right now I have installed XAMPP and wordpress according to the direction successfully.<br /> On the step where I entered the address to <a href="http://localhost/wordpress/install.php" rel="nofollow">http://localhost/wordpress/install.php</a><br /> It brought me directly to that page, I entered the desired name and my email, clicked install button.</p> <p>The problem is that this page took forever to load. I'm using firefox browser, and the browser says "waiting for local host..."<br /> after about half hours of waiting I got frustrated and clicked that install button again, the page suddenly changed saying that I have already installed wordpress. It never gets to the second page where I am suppose to enter my user name and password.</p> <p>I am able to see my blog front page when I type in the url address. However I do not know what my password is when I try to log onto admin page. I tried finding password. Entered my email address into that box. The dreadful long wait start up again, saying "waiting for local host..." I clicked on get new password button many times, but nothing happens, no password given to me or sent to my email whatsoever.</p> <p>Anyone know what's going on with that long wait? Anyone has any solution on how should I retrieve my password in order to log into admin page and start working on my blog? </p>
