[resolved] Fast Help - Lost admin password - Does WordPress use hashes? (2 posts)

    OK, can't e-mail it to myself because it is on my computer and my apache configuration doesn't allow for e-mails to be sent.

    Does WordPress compare hashes? If so what algorithm does it use. This way i can just encrypt a new password and write it directly to my database.

    I don't want to reinstall because I am halfway through configuring it and i really don't want to risk messing stuff up.

    And what stops you from going into the DB (e.g. via phpMyadmin) and change it?
