I managed to change it via phpMyAdmin. * Just in case there’s any developer willing to check this bug, this happened to me while trying to install a fresh wordpress 2.3 in my own server, which run’s on WampServer 1.7.3 (PHP 5.2.4 and MySQL 5.0.45) * [ivovic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ivovic/) * (@ivovic) * [18 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blank-screen-after-wp-admininstallphp-process/#post-631074) * the nice thing about wordpress is if you give a valid email address when installing, it does you the courtesy of mailing you your password just in case you have the memory of a goldfish, or something like this happens. * [expaand](https://wordpress.org/support/users/expaand/) * (@expaand) * [18 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blank-screen-after-wp-admininstallphp-process/#post-631095) * I just tried installing a brand new 2.3, and the identical thing happened – i. e., a screen with only the wordpress logo comes up, with no password, etc. Since I am fairly new to wordpress (certainly to 2.3), I was mystified, and wasted a bunch of time. (I fixed by manually entering a md5 hashed password into the db, but this was a hassle, needless to say). (BTW, I never got an email….) * Shouldn’t this be filed as a bug? * Anonymous User 269521 * (@anonymized-269521) * [18 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blank-screen-after-wp-admininstallphp-process/#post-631132) * I found the solution for my occurance of this error to be server memory allocation related. Saw this in my logs: * PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 92160 bytes) in [path to WP]/wp-admin/includes/upgrade.php on line 250 * So I went to /etc/php.ini and changed the line: * memory_limit = 8M * to: * memory_limit = 32M * Once I did this I had to reset Apache (“/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart”), and then boom, “Welcome to the famous five minute WordPress installation process!”( Okay, there was no boom; that was for effect). * I’m not sure why I had to reset Apache for this change to take effect, but I’ve learned not to question such things.
