So I sent another email to customer support and no response yet. * This is very frustrating. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Yahoo!

I am getting very frustrated with Yahoo- I have only had them for a couple of weeks but anytime I try to reach them about something that is clearly the result of Yahoo, they say “oh, but you use WP so we can’t help you.” * I still can’t get on my blog and everything was fine last night- I changed nothing. * Is anybody having any luck resolving this issue? * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [Lost Password](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-password-3/) * [stacyb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stacyb/) * (@stacyb) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-password-3/page/2/#post-304162) * Thanks everyone- the issue seems to be resolved. My web host may have had a role in the issue as I saw an alert and an apology for people who were having trouble with their passwords. So that may have been the cause and explain why after all the changes, I still couldn’t access my site. * Thanks again for all your help * -Stacy * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [Lost Password](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-password-3/) * [stacyb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stacyb/) * (@stacyb) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-password-3/#post-304028) * Yes, I selected MD5 after changing the password and still no luck. * Ok, dumb question- If I delete the folder on my server control panel that contains all the blog files in my file manager, is that tantamount to”dropping” the old db tables? I just want to make sure if I scrap the whole blog I do it correctly so I dont run into the same problem with an old wordpress password I cant get to work. * Thanks again for your help * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [Lost Password](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-password-3/) * [stacyb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stacyb/) * (@stacyb) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-password-3/#post-304013) * Podz- question- worst case scenario- if I have to delete my current blog from my server (its only a couple of days old- thus not a lot of files/pages), if I create a completely new wordpress blog will it be a totally new administrative account and thus require me to set up a different user name and password, or will the new blog be under the same account with the current password thus meaning I wil have exactly the same problem? * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [Lost Password](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-password-3/) * [stacyb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stacyb/) * (@stacyb) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-password-3/#post-304012) * Podz- thanks for your response. * I went through that (but it was codex)page last night and did exactly what it tolk me to do- and when I finished the directory *did* show that I had sucessfully changed my password for my administrative user name in the directory but when I went to sign in on my blog, it again said “incorrect password.” At this stage, I really don’t know what to do. * I am at work now and cant go in and try again in the php directory and attempt to change the password again. * I am really stumped. * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [Lost Password](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-password-3/) * [stacyb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stacyb/) * (@stacyb) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-password-3/#post-303976) * Hi, I am the one with the password issue- I went into myphp admin and was able to change the password in the directory, but I still can’t into my blog administration panel. I have also tried (before that) having a new password emailed to me and that also didn’t work. * I really don’t know what to do at this point. I am considering deleting the whole blog (it is just a few days old) from my yahoo server and starting from scratch if I can’t get into my blog soon. If I do that, I will have to set up a new blog wp account, right? Thus I wouldn’t have the same current problem? Or would it be just new wp files under the existing account? * Thanks in advance. I am new to both wordpress (used blogger before) and also new to web/blog site maintenance so I apologize if I don’t speak the “language” 😉 * -Stacy Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total)
