 * Hello,
 * My boss left the company and did not leave admin passwords or rights to me. How
   do I handle this problem? Thanks!

 * Hi,
 * Two choices;
 * 1.) You could always reset the password by going to [http://www.domain.com/wp-admin](http://www.domain.com/wp-admin)
   and click “forgot password” then enter the email address of his. Check his email
   and follow the instructions.
 * 2.) You can go through your Control Panel, access PHPMyAdmin and click “wp_users”
   which the very first line on the right will be the username, if you click edit
   next to that, you can locate a line that says “Password”, make sure you select
   MD5 in of the the drop down boxes, and the box next to that enter the password.
   This is a quick run down; this tutorial should help with that in more detail;
