    I just upgraded to 2.6 and then couldn't log in. I stupidly went in to phpMyAdmin and cleared the user_pass field for my user and now I can't log in. Is there a way to set the password manually using phpMyAdmin?

    Thanks,
    David

    I found another post in the forum that deals with this situation. I used Google to do a search since there doesn't seem to be a search function on this forum.

    Anyway, I'm trying out the emergency.php solution suggested here:

    I'll let you know how it goes.

    Problem solved. The solution was to use the MD5 feature of phpMyAdmin. There's a good tutorial here:
