 * Not sure what version I have I should have the latest, anyway, I’m trying to 
   reset my password, what I had was an old one, so I am trying to do the whole 
   reset password thing.
 * I got the link via email I’m doing a strong password and evern though i have 
   letters both upper and lower, numbers and special charactors I’m getting an error
   message that I need to make a strong password WTF? 🙂 Nothing I do is working…

 * If this somehow does not work and you can not login as administrator, try to 
   create new one.
    Google for something like “create new admin user wordpress” 
   you will find more solution using database, ftp …

 * I’ve found out, this issue is having to do with Better WP Security (Ithemes) 
   I have it set up to make all users have strong passwords and although any password
   I use does not work. I just figured this out last night…

 * That’s great news, some security plugins over-ride WordPress original admin configurations.
