 * Current have version 2.6.5 and getting ready to upgrade… when I log in, I get
   dashboard but didn’t realize until just now that I do not have administrator 
   view. Even if my login account has administrator view, shouldn’t I see menu down
   left and be able to look at list of plug ins? Unlike another wordpress blog I
   manage, this one does not have these features. Why woudl this be the case? How
   do I look up if there are any other users on this account (I believe I’m the 
   only one after site was created by web developer).
 * Site, otherwise, runs fine. It has 48 pages in 1 category, media library shows
   23 images and 2 videos.

 * Maybe not directly related but you can find user names by using [phpMyAdmin](http://codex.wordpress.org/phpMyAdmin)
   if you have access.

 * In phpMyAdmin on right under “MySQL” under “User:”, lists only my username.
 * Also Under “Processes” tab, one username is listed (same one).
 * Any other place to look to see if there are other usernames?

 * Look in the `wp_users` table.
 * The `wp_` part of that could be different on your system

 * Where do I view wp-users table – in WordPress CMS, or via FTP to host site?

 * FOund wp-users table, it had 2 other accounts. Changed email field on both to
   my email address, and changed passwords for both of them.
 * When I tried logging in to either one, however, I get ‘Incorrect password’
    Error
   message…

 * You changed the password in the SQL database? Did you use the right hashing?

 * Clicked ‘forgot password’, and was able to change passwords so now can get in.
   Found one of the 2 other accounts is, indeed, an administrator account. Puzzle
   solved. Thanks to all of you for helping! Ticket closed.
