 * Please help! I’ve forgotten the password to my site [http://www.nbfa.no](http://www.nbfa.no).
 * When I press the “Lost your password link?” I’m only redirected to the front 
   page of my site, instead of getting the opportunity to write my email address
   and have a new password sent there.
 * Is this a known problem? I can’t find anything about it. How do I get a new password
   sent to me, or a link to a password reset?
 * Is there any other way I can reset my password? I don’t have wordpress installed
   on my computer, or any files for the website on my computer, so as far as I undrstand
   a lot of the things in the guide on how to reset passwords, won’t work for me.

 * It might be a conflict with a plugin or theme function.
 * Try this instead: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Resetting_Your_Password#Through_phpMyAdmin](https://codex.wordpress.org/Resetting_Your_Password#Through_phpMyAdmin)
