 * Hi guys!
 * Ok I am going a little crazy here.
 * I had someone from elance (elance at the time) convert and edit everything to
   wordpress since I know little about wordpress.
 * The password he had was in elance messages and since it changed its name and 
   I converted to freelancer instead of someone who gets hired a year ago I think
   it got rid of my messages.
 * So I tried to reset it using all 3 methods here:
    [http://support.hostgator.com/articles/how-to-reset-wordpress-password](http://support.hostgator.com/articles/how-to-reset-wordpress-password)
 * unfortunately the first 2 dont work as in wordpress barely shows in my cpanel
   in any of those instructions.
 * Now the third one where I go into my databases kind of worked, I see 5 wordpress
   databases (some are from other sites on the server) and changed every database
   out of the wordpress 5 admins passwords to the same thing and it STILL wont let
   me login. I am not sure what I am doing wrong but my boss is pretty pissed and
   im basically buying time at this point till I can find the answer. I knew osmething
   was fishy when I loaded up the pages when I could login and everything is blank,
   like its not a normal install or something making it so I use to ask them to 
   have to edit it.
 * Anyone able to lend some advice or help? It would be amazingly appreciated!
 * Thanks for your time!

 * So sorry you are experiencing this issue.
 * If you were able to get past the white screen, I have a couple of questions.
 * Are you using /wp-admin on the end of the url?
 * If so, **Lost Password** should work if _you_ are the admin. Lost password sends
   an email to the email address associated with the admin.
 * Are you the Admin or is the person from Elance the Admin? In other words, is 
   your email address is associated with this Admin account?
 * Check the email address for the admins. Change it to your email address. Then
   try Lost Password.
