very bizarre. the site is up... http://leadershipskills.SuccessTelevision.biz but I can't login. WordPress does not recognize my email address and won't send in the login. I just upgraded the my sql data base on Yahoo to 5.1.55
Can someone help me with this?
you could try the emergency password reset script or one of the other solutions on this page: http://codex.wordpress.org/Resetting_Your_Password#Using_the_Emergency_Password_Reset_Script

Hi, Mike,
Thank you so much for this. I got as far as uploading the file but it says, " Apologies, but the page you requested could not be found." I've double,triple checked it. (I've since deleted the file as you suggested).
Is there particular code I could chang in the file that I could then upload and avoid the browser problem? Then, I could just upload it??
it sounds like you didn't upload it to the correct place. Did you put it at the same level as your wp-admin & wp-content directories? You might prefer to try the wp-config method outlined in the codex link instead

Hi, Mike,
I tried to upload to each of the files, wp-admin and wp-content as well as the file that contains both those files. When I click on the link through my browser, I get an apology from WordPress that the page can't be found. Any other place to try to place it?
What's the wp-config method? The link you sent was to this discussion.
And, thank you for all your help!
The link above should be going to the http://codex.wordpress.org/Resetting_Your_Password page.
Read the instructions carefully - I never mentioned anything about uploading wp-admin or wp-content. Those directories already exist as standard in your WordPress installation and were mentioned only as a reference so you know where to upload the password reset script. In most cases should be at the same level as those.

Michael,
I got in and the way I did it was through the phpMyAdmin. we're hosted on Yahoo and a very nice person there helped me to find "phpmyadmin". This is a great tool and I highly recommend using it. The instructions from your link above are very good.
Phew!!
Thank you!
