#1. If your host supplies an sql database, they usually also supply phpmyadmin as a tool for sql administration. It allows you to look inside, and alter, the database.
You could contact your host to see if it is available.
#2. In 1.2mingus, the line in question is number 204:
case ‘retrievepassword’:
$user_login = $_POST[“user_login”];
$user_data = get_userdatabylogin($user_login);
// redefining user_login ensures we return the right case in the email
$user_login = $user_data[‘user_login’];
$user_email = $user_data->user_email;

What does this MEAN? Replace what with what????
It means to *delete* this line
$user_login = $user_data[‘user_login’];
and instead, put this line in there:
$user_login = $user_data->user_login;
It does work – I’ve done it too.
I ran into a similar problem running off an https server. After trying all the solutions on this page, I found the solution here: http://wordpress.org/support/3/6429 it seems you gotta make sure the cookies are set for https as well
If one has the e-mail turned off, is it still necessary to change the line under ‘case retrieve password’?
I did change it, and I still can’t login, but I was just curious.
Thanks.

Podz’s solution didn’t work for me, but this one did. I guess my office uses secure HTTP while my home doesn’t.
unfortunately, after I replaced the original text password with the hashed one, this is what I get:
Database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax near ‘WHERE user_login = ‘Joey’ AND user_pass = ‘21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3” at line 1]
SELECT ID, user_login, user_pass FROM WHERE user_login = ‘Joey’ AND user_pass = ‘21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3’

I think the more feasible solution is to provide a method that prevents wordpress from hashing the password.
I’m getting the same problem and I don’t know what to do. I used this and it worked on my pc and on my mac, now on a different pc, it’s not working. I tried this solution and the one mentioned here:
http://wordpress.org/support/3/6429
Can anyone recommend something to try? Is this a normal problem for WordPress or did I mess up the installation somehow?

Ignore steps 1-3 and just do 4, it worked for me
Actually, I never installed a nightly build, only the releases. I tried what you suggested and it didn’t work. If I install it again, will I lose all my data, registered users and posts? I don’t want to start over. 🙁

Sorry to wake this thread up again. I recently tried to upgrade from WordPress 1.2 to WordPress 1.2.1 and encountered this problem, where on trying to log in I would hit a redirection loop. I’ve tried all of the above suggestions, and those in some other threads: http://wordpress.org/support/3/6429 http://wordpress.org/support/3/7229 and http://wordpress.org/support/2/9257
I also tried turning register_globals to On, but (thankfully) that made no difference either.
No success. This is not browser specific, and deleting cookies makes no difference.

This is an excellent solution. Thanks for the info!
The solution by fridgepimp here is also important if you get email errors on a lost password in 1.2.x

I am new to wordpress. I have installed php4 and mysql on win2k. When I login to wordpress, I get the default error page HTTP Error 403 – Forbidden

What am I missing?
Check the permissions on the files in /wp-admin/, they should be 644. Also, check the permissions on the directory /wp-admin/, they should be 755.
