    I forgot to change the password after the installation.
    I typed in the login and email info on the “Lost Password” link.
    Within seconds, I get two email.
    1) Login:
    Password: password
    Login at: http://wordpress/blog/wp-login.php
    2) Password Lost and Changed for user:
    I don’t know what the #2 email is for…since it is blank. :confused:
    I type in the new password provided with login as admin and wordpress tells me it is wrong. I attempted over five times and all failure. Help?

    I’m having the same problem. So I went to that link and followed the instructions and they didn’t help. Any other ideas?

    Never mind — I tried the second solution (going to wp-incules/vars and changing the “http” in COOKIEPATH to “https”) and that worked.

    I had found that when I tried to get WP to send me a new pass for users that it wasn’t including the login information – only the password. I believe I have build 1.2. I discovered that in wp-login.php line 201 that it had double quotes instead of single quotes to get the login specified by the user in the form: $user_login = $_POST[“user_login”]; As soon as I changed it to $user_login = $_POST[‘user_login’]; (with single quotes) everything worked fine.
    Hope that helps someone else!
    Cheers
