 * I lost my username. That means the username I filled in at the install procedure
   doesn’t work. Maybe it is because it is not the same as the username I filled
   in at config_php. Should these be the same? How can I solve this problem. I get
   the message: unknown username.

 * the default username you’re given is “admin” – you don’t get to pick it when 
   you do the install… unless you chose a different one later on and became another
   user with “admin” capabilities…
