   Haven't used this account for a while. Logged in and it says contact site admin to upgrade to latest WP version. Thought I was the site admin. Didn't do anything since last time. Can't find any emails stating otherwise. How do I reset?

   If you have access to the database it is really easy:

   1.goto the database
   2.goto the table wp_users
   3.Edit the entry for admin
   4.use: http://www.md5encrypter.com/ to encrypt a new password
   5.put the password that is encrypted into where the old password was.
   6.Make sure user_login is 'admin' and user_status is 0.

   Save the table record.

   cross your fingers.

   You don't have to cross your fingers, and you don't necessarily have to go into the database with phpmyadmin; there are other methods: Resetting Your Password « WordPress Codex
