 * Access your SQL database and change it in there (its encoded MD5 so you can replace
   it by encoding a different password in MD5 and replacing the current one). You
   can also find your other details on there. I recommend you use phpmyadmin which
   makes it pretty easy.
 * Browse to wp_users (table) and then click browse. If your the only user, you’ll
   be at the top. Then click edit.
