 * Hi Thorgod949,
 * It should be in the main wp-login.php
 * You should look for in the main wp folder not inside your template though.
 * Or you can simply install a plugin so it won’t be overwritten during upgrades.

 * can you give me link to your site?
 * you can always check again the wp-login.php
 * but note: you will need to backup your changes so you will just re apply them
   after any wordpress upgrade you may want in the future.
 * CAn you tell me the version of your wordpress so i can give you a more details
   location in the code to replace

 * you may want to edit this line:
 * starts at around line: 630
 * change the ‘Username’ to ‘Minecraft Username’
 * <form name=”loginform” id=”loginform” action=”<?php echo esc_url( site_url( ‘
   wp-login.php’, ‘login_post’ ) ); ?>” method=”post”>
    <p> <label for=”user_login”
   ><?php _e(‘Username’) ?> <input type=”text” name=”log” id=”user_login” class=”
   input” value=”<?php echo esc_attr($user_login); ?>” size=”20″ tabindex=”10″ /
