   I am moving my site over to a new server and my password no longer works.

   I've gone through every method of changing it, but something strange keeps happening when I look at the wp_mysite_users table. I set the password with MD5, and the hash shows up in the table.

   Then I got to mysite/wp-admin and log in. I get an error saying "You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.", I check the mysql table again, and the hash is different than what it just was. I'm completely confused by what could be causing this. Any ideas?

   In case anyone else has the same problem. I had changed the prefix on my DB. Even though I had successfully updated the table names, there was some data in a couple of the tables that needed to be fixed as well. Once I did that, the password problems went away. Found the solution here:
