Keep having my admin password “expire”

    It seems like every day I’m trying to reset my admin password so I can get back into my dashboard. I had to get the emergency script a few days ago when this began. I go into phpmyadmin to reset the password with MD5, then go to the emergency script and it worked. Today I had to do it again, but this time it didn’t work. Now I’m locked out of my dashboard AGAIN.

    This is ridiculous because I’m trying to run an eCommerce website and am unable to properly control it as a result. My website.

    Since the standard WordPress install doesn’t make passwords expire, I’d guess that your site is hacked. Try the advice linked off this page to clean your site up.

    why would someone hack a new website? It’s not even publicly open yet..

    I’ll check it anyways..
