 * Through FTP
 * There is also an easy way to reset your password via FTP, if you’re using the
   admin user.
 * 1. Login to your site via FTP and download your active theme’s functions.php 
   file.
 * 2. Edit the file and add this code to it, right at the beginning, after the first
   <?php:
    ** DO I HAVE TO CHANEG SOMETHING IN THIS CODE?
 * wp_set_password(‘password’,1);
 * **
    Put in your own new password for the main admin user. The “1” is the user
   ID number in the wp_users table.
 * WHERE?
 * 3. Upload the modified file back to your site.
 * 4. After you then are able to login, make sure to go back and remove that code.
   It will reset your password on every page load until you do.

 * I found that most of plugins I tried didn’t work with 2.9.2 I think I must install
   older WP, too many problems with this already

 * Hi, I can’t get it fixed with those. Files seems to be ok, but I re-install because
   it’s new site. Only couple of days old 😉
