can't retrieve/reset password (5 posts)

    I couldn't remember my password, so I tried to reset it and have my site reset it for me. It sent me a link into my inbox to reset it. I clicked on the link to have it reset. Once I did that, it took me back to my login site but I get this message;

    "Sorry, that key does not appear to be valid."

    What did I do wrong?

    Did you click the link after a long time? Sometimes the key becomes invalid if you don't click on the link for a few days (I'm not sure of the exact time). I would just try again?

    Nope. I clicked it immediately. I did it a few days ago. And then I tried resetting again today and still no go. :(

    I am having the same problem.
    I am not sure what to do either, orther than to lose some sleep.

    There's a plugin...

    If you have access to FTP, you might try it. It worked for me when I was in this pinch.
