My WP installations suddenly started to reject my password. I decided to recover it, but I cannot do this, because when I use the password reminder, the machine is sending me an automated e-mail with an URL that seems to be somehow wrong.
Any idea what could it be?

Hi there, the best thing i can think of is that you may want to try this emergency script, as long as you have ftp to your hosting account.

Posted 3 years ago #I actually tried the village idiot emergency file but after I put it in my root directory, I get this in bold:
"Error establishing a database connection"
Which has screwed up my website. I've done all the steps that I should have done and I can't see where I went wrong? Does anyone know a solution to this?

One more thing: the machine is sending me the same key all the time, and there is a ')' sign in it, that somehow affects the whole key; the signs, that come after the ')' sign, are not included into URL. Of course I,ve tried to copy/paste the key into the adress bar, but i didn't help -
