 * WP is not accepting my admin/password. I know the password, but maybe not the
   login name. What was the default admin name for 1.5? This probably was what I
   used.
 * Background: I had a major meltdown — had to rebuild my main box plus maybe am
   short a brain cell or two. Now I can’t get in. I’ll re-build from scratch if 
   necessary, but would prefer to preserve my minimal blog.

 * Thanks, I figured it out. FWIW, my site is [http://chrisleck.com/wp/](http://chrisleck.com/wp/)
   if you want to look at it.
