 * I’ve just installed WP 4.1 on a Windows server with Plesk. It was installed via
   the Plesk control panel. No problems there. I was able to login once as admin
   after the initial install but not after that. I used phpMyAdmin to reset the 
   admin password as discribed in the support forum using MD5, enter a new password,
   then save. When I refresh the db view, the password indeed was encrypted. In 
   another tab I try to login using the new password; as originally entered, but
   it fails with no error message. I again go back to the database and refresh and
   the value has changed. It looks like the MD5 encoded value was encrypted again.
 * Any ideas?

 * Can you use the Lost Password link?
