    I have installed a local server, MAMP with WordPress and I cannot open admin because of user name and password. How do I set a user name and password on a local site? I did not want to request a new password because I have a WordPress site where I do not want too change the password for my on-line site.

    When you installed WP into MAMP, YOU would have had to provide a User Name and Password during the install process.

    Thank you. The user name and the pass word were for the data base not the dashboard. They do not work for wp-admin

    Yes, you enter this information at the beginning of the install, along with the database name, database host and table prefix, etc.

    YOU enter the dashboard login at the last screen of the install where it asks for the site title, email address, whether or not to allow search engines to index this site, etc., along with the Username and Password, twice 🙂
