 * I forgot the admin password for my WordPress blog. I do know the admin username.
   I clicked the “forgot password” link and got a new password sent. Problem is,
   the address it emailed the link to no longer exists. So I have no idea what the
   password was changed to.
 * Is there any way to either change the address that is associated with that username
   or to change the password to something I know?
 * Thanks.

 * Where do I find the database and specifically the users table? I didn’t do anything
   fancy, just a standard install via Fantastico.

 * Hi,
 * You can get the wordpress database under that there will be a table wp_user. 
   You need to edit the user details from that table and reset the password.
 * You can get database details from MySQL database console like…PHPMyAdmin.
 * Thanks,
