 * Ok, so today, I go to logon to my blog, well it wouldn’t let. So I went through
   the process of trying to get my login information.
 * Well, some how my login for admin has been changed to “izri-ino”, but when I 
   do a google on that it returns alot of hacked pages.
 * Question is how to I go about getting my original login username back and how
   to I prevent it from happening again. Thanks

 * How do you know that your login has been changed to izri-ino if you can’t login?
   Where do you see that username on your site?
 * To get your login back, reset your admin password through phpMyAdmin. See the
   video at the link below…if you look in your database and don’t see an admin username,
   then post back…you may have bigger problems…

 * change it in the database, presumed the same way you discovered it had been changed.
 * as for the rest of your question, thats impossible to say since we dont know 
   what you have going on on your site. plugins you are using, where you hosted,
   etc..

 * I used the can’t remember password/user named feature, when logging in.
 * I put in the email address that I used for the admin account, so it emailed me
   the login information and a new password. And the login information had been 
   changed. I was able to then log in, but unable to change the login name from 
   WordPress, can I change the login name in PHPadmin or will that cause bigger 
   issues?
