 * Hello,
    Thank you for your time. Let me explain the situation.
 * We had an employee of a friend help set up wordpress for us. She set wordpress
   up on three different sights for us. She no longer works for my friends company
   and the e-mail address she had registered under this word press account is no
   longer active.
 * I have been managing and upgrading the websites without trouble as I have the
   login information. However one of these sites has stopped working properly. The
   site itself still functions, I am having difficulty logging in. It is stuck in
   a password loop. I enter an incorrect password it shows the usual error message
   but when I enter the correct password it returns to the default login screen 
   as if I had not even done a thing.
 * We need to update this website. What can I do.
    My employer is breathing down
   my neck on this one. Help would be greatly appreciated.
 * Cheers,
    Craig

 * If someone has intimate knowledge of phpMyAdmin I would pay someone to fix this
   problem.
