 * we have a blog called kidsthink and we have lost the password. we have tried 
   to get the password sent to our email address, but when we do we get a hotlink
   to press and then the new website either says the new password is in the mail–
   which it isnt – or that the key is invalid.
 * we really need to access this blog, the website has gone out on promotional material,
   so if we have to set up a new blog we still want to direct people there. any 
   help would be greatly appreciated!

 * Its not a matter of explaining. I’m having the same problem. The changes I’m 
   making with phpMyAdmin just aren’t taking hold. Not sure if it takes a while 
   for my host to update the database or whatnot. But I’m being sent a new password,
   confirming with the link, but the new passwords aren’t working. thats on a couple
   of my blogs. Just seems to be weird. Don’t want to have to reset the whole thing,
   y’know?

 * I also lost my password (because I just forgot it).
    So I tried with the password
   recovery through email but I never got any email ! Then I followed up the instructions“
   Through phpMyAdmin” in Resetting_Your_Password: it worked !!!

 * Help please! My registered subscribers are getting invalid keys with their password
   reset emails. Is anyone else having this problem? I’m using WP 2.1.2.
