Invalid Username

    I’ve been getting the message INVALID USERNAME for 24 hours. I’ve tried going into MySQL through the Host, then phpMyAdmin, then Databases, then eventually to wp-users. From what I understand the PW needs to changed there. However, the Browse button doesn’t provide any info to make the change. It says TABLE IS EMPTY.

    How can I login to my WordPress? How can I get around this impasse?

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    yes, delete that. that is there because you clicked the SQL box while browsing the table.

    the query is more than whats inside the brackets. I pasted EXACTLY what you want to copy and paste into the box. It starts at INSERT and ends at the semi-colon.

    Thanks–I’ve almost got it. Can’t get my email address in their correctly. I’m trying to figure out what I’m doing wrong.

    Do I print my email address between the commas below?
    ‘YOUR-EMAIL@EMAIL.COM’
