# Cannot log into wordpress

 * I was just handed a fansite ([http://www.rachellelefevre.us](http://www.rachellelefevre.us))
   and I am a complete beginner when it comes to running a site. I use wordpress
   to post updates to the website but as of 24 hours ago, I started getting this
   screen when I went to log in:
 * [http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/9376/firstscreen.png](http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/9376/firstscreen.png)
 * and when I type in my log in info, I get this screen:
    [http://img576.imageshack.us/img576/8859/secondscreen.png](http://img576.imageshack.us/img576/8859/secondscreen.png)
 * And the main page of the fansite itself is no longer showing up. The last time
   I successfully logged in, I attempted to update wordpress to version 3.1 by clicking
   the link that was at the top of the page. Since then I have not been able to 
   access the main page nor the fansite.
 * Can someone please help me figure out what I did wrong? I really want to make
   a go of running my first site.

 * Download wordpress 3.1, unzip and reupload all the default wordpress files via
   FTP. It should help.

 * You can replace all files and folders except wp-content as that is where all 
   plugins and themes and uploads are and wp-config.php as this has your database
   info.
 * I have article and video on [how to upgrade wordpress manually ](http://gbpcentral.com/blog/how-to-upgrade-wordpress-manually/)
   see if that helps and if you do not understand any part fill free to ask.
