I just registered a test user for my site forums. I received the email confirmation with my username and password, but when I enter those, I get the message: ERROR: Incorrect password. Lost your password?
I've done it a number of times and get the same message. I searched the forums but didn't find a solution there.
Any suggestions?

I once struggled for a whole day with the same problem..
It occurred on just ONE of my installations (form MANY), on a specific server .
It was 1&1 hosting server from germany (not reccomanded BTW).
In my case, the redirection rules were changed by a plugin (adminimize) and More-Fields (at least I think) so :
1. you need to try and deactivate plugins from the DB
2. Reload all WP files again, after DELETING the old ones (not overwrite) - remember to NOT delete config.php .
3. you should try to look at your .httaccess files (possiably also post here) , create one if there is none on your server at the root and see redirection roles there.
4. if none help, reset your user or create a new admin user from DB - while this option is not reccomanded, i could guide you how to (I hope) if everything else fails .

Thanks very much krembo99. I'll be away for two weeks and when I get back I'm going to do this protocol.
