WordPress Standalone Copy – Cannot Login

    I have read all the FAQs I can find on this. We have purchased our own copy of WordPress and we have it running on Windows Server 2003. We never got the admin email with a user/pass and, as it turns out, there was not a admin account in the database. I am not a mySQL/PHP guru but I was able to add a record to the wp_users table with the mySQL command prompt.

    I have the user name and password in there but I am unable to login. It keeps telling me wrong password even though I know the user/pass is 100% correct. I did not do the M5 hash and I am not sure that is even required or not. I can’t believe it is but if it is then that may be the problem. I don’t know.

    In any event, I have a user/pass in the database that is not working. I notice fields in the table like user_status. I am not sure if these need to be set or not. Does anyone know if the M5 hash is the problem or what may be the problem?

    Thanks…..Rob

    If necessary, please read Resetting_your_password and just change the password for your admin user with phpMyAdmin.

    Just FYI, but wordpress is a free product.

    I do not have phpMyAdmin and I really do not want it on my PC. From what I have seen, it is all command driven install, etc.

    In addition, I have seen this several times on the board The user name and password is there. I used the command prompt to add the account and it is there. So……………. why can’t I login?

    Thanks…..Rob

    Yes, m5 might be the problem.

    Unless you’re hosting WP on your on computer – you don’t need phpMyAdmin on your machine.
