 * Hey people, I have for some reasons lost my admin password for my wordpress log
   site. How can I retrive it? I have tried to insert the username (admin) and request
   for password reseting but it never worked it tells me that key does not appear
   to be valid.
 * I do have the FTP access to all the wordpress software I was wondering if its
   possible to retrieve it from that side.
 * Please Help!

 * Hey guys, thanks a lot for help there. I managed to retrieve my admin passwod.
   The solution that worked for me was the emergency password recovery script from
   village-idiot.org
