 * Help! I lost my password, and when I try and get it emailed to me, it comes up
   with an error, saying that it can’t find that user and email address. I’ve tried
   all my passwords, but it’s not recognising them. Is there any other way to get
   my password back?

 * If you use phpMyAdmin to access your database:

 * I don’t have phpmyadmin installed. But I sorted it out… I had to log in as admin,
   not my nickname! do’h!
 * ps, I know this is an old thread, but I thought I would finish it so other people
   looking it up could see what happened.

 * Whoa, red flag! WP v1.2.1 has a few security holes. You should have at least 
   WP v1.2.2 if not WP v1.5.
