 * OK, well here’s what happened. My friend set up a wordpress.org for me, and gave
   me the password and username. I tried the password, and it didn’t work. So I 
   tried the lost password option, but I never got a email, leading me to believe
   it’s set to his email. Is there anyway I can reset my password now? He won’t 
   be back for a week and I need to be in ASAP.
 * Thanks.

 * if you have access to the database you can change it directly in the database
   under the users table.
