    Two choices:

    Manually reset your password using one of the strategies at Resetting Your Password. I like using phpMyAdmin for this...

    or

    install the fix as suggested in trac ticket 6842 and don't forget Otto's little fix to wp-db.php that is listed there.

    problem solved. It was the cookie thing. When I went to the login screen it showed had a www in the url. i took that out and it let me use the new password. it seems the cookie uses the www or non www in the url. rather than delete all of the cookies, that was a quick fix!

    Just an fyi.
