    I just upgraded per the instructions and then I was asked to log in again but the password doesn’t work! It had been working fine all night before the upgrade. And of course clicking on the “Lost Password?” doesn’t send me anything, but then again that’s never worked anyhow.

    How the heck to log back in again without passwords? I don’t have access to PHPAdmin. Thanks. -Derryl

    If you can upload the PHP script and execute it, then you can try to modify the database from PHP code:
    http://php.net/mysql_query

    do not do what is suggested above.

    Thanks Samboli, but the suggestions that you link to assume that you have the Admin password to login first. That’s not very useful when your password doesn’t work. And as I explained, the email password function simply does not work. Never has worked on any of our sites. Thanks. -Derryl

    man… – the link is to reset your password so you can log in
    you don’t have to know it 1st

    your username is always “admin”

    You don’t need to know your password? Only ‘admin’? Can you explain exactly how you log in to the Admin panel to change the password without a password? (minus the condescending attitude if possible..)

    The instructions you refer to are to change not the reset the password.

    I sure can’t explain better than the codex.
    If you follow the instructions you can change/reset your password – then log in to your admin with
    admin
    newpassword
