Admin Password Problem

    Hello Team,

    I’ve been logging into my wordpress installation via a computer that has essentially logged into the admin account for me. I tried logging in from another computer and found that the admin password I thought I used would not work. So, this morning I logged on automatically from the original computer to check the account.

    It appeared to be what I thought it was, so I logged out and trying logging back in with what I thought was my admin account and password. Oy. Now I can’t log in as administrator at all!

    So, I guess my question is, has this happened to anyone else? And is there a way to reset the admin password from the server itself? Let me know what you think.

    Thanks.

    – Sez

    I have (had) a perfectly fine blog until I reset and the promptly forgot my admin password. After trying very combination under the sun I decided to use phpMyAdmin to reset the password field (using the M5 pull down option) in the wp_users table. That all seemed to work fine on the surface but I am still locked out. Is there another way to recover, reset or circumvent the admin password? Any help would be appreciated. Shot myself in the foot pretty good this time 😉

    So now there are three of us that have shot themselves in the foot. I was hoping to change my password immediately I logged on but was not allowed to change the password becvause of IE6’s security. So I didn’t pay enough attention to the original 6 character password code. A lesson learnt but I am still locked out.

    why can’t you click on the “forgot your password?” link and get a new one sent to your email?
