can't get lost password (6 posts)

    I my site to 2.2 today, then upgraded a site for someone else (did mine first, to see if I could identify any problem bits)
    My own upgrade went quickly and well, so I proceeded to take on the other site.
    It appears everything loaded successfully, but I can't log in to her upgrade page. When I ask for a lost password re-send, every possible combo of user name and e-mail gets rejected. (I've gone through all my old notes and e-mails for her site. Nothing works)

    I suspect I overwrote some log-in info a long time ago.. but how in the world can I dig myself out?

    thanks.
    Laurie

    Thank you for replying, and sorry for not putting enough helpful detail in the first time around.
    I did try the ...Resetting_Your_Password link before posting.
    It keeps bouncing back to the page that asks for just user name and e-mail address.

    I saw the phpmyadmin doc before posting as well. I just had the feeling I could do some real harm there. Would a host be able to help walk through that?

    this is actually what I wanted to point you to -- its basically the same process as what's described in the second link I pasted.

    As for what a host is able to or willing to do -- thats entirely dependent upon your host.

    Yes, that one is less daunting. Too late to safely attempt it tonight without making a mess, but I will try it in the a.m.
    Thanks.

    its actually easier than it looks, especially if you have cpanel. :)

    G'luck!
