email retrieval password not working

    I’m not sure which version I have–maybe 3.0

    I know my user name and am able to get a new password sent to my email address, but the new password doesn’t work. I’ve tried this more than once.

    The codex article for resetting your password says to press USERS in the admin panel, but how can I even get to the admin panel if I don’t know my password. This is kind of Greek to me anyway.

    Thanks–I’ve seen that but how do I get to the admin panel if I don’t know my password?

    Any idea why my email generated password won’t work?

    did really read the link? there are several methods to do it without going to admin panel

    I scanned the link and the options look pretty difficult, and I’m rather lost. I don’t understand a lot of this stuff.

    Worst case scenario–maybe I could remove the blog entirely and rebuild it from scratch, but I’m not even sure how to do that. I have it hosted through hostgator.

    you better learn to do some of this if you want to run a website – nothing is flawless all the time

    Why won’t the password that I’m emailed work?

    After the gazillonth time of trying–been trying since yesterday–I finally got in! And changed my password!
