 * Thanks both of you – I’ll get onto HostPapa and see if they have any support 
   they can offer. The main thing is I don’t want to lose the data on the site, 
   so I’m in no hurry to sort this out.
 * Thanks

 * Hi kmessinger,
 * I should confess I’m a total novice here! What is the database? Is it something
   I get at through cPanel or the files on Filezilla? (I’m hosting the site with
   Hostpapa, if that helps.)
 * Also, on cPanel, when I go to phpMyAdmin I get this message: “#1045 Cannot log
   in to the MySQL server”.
 * All of this is really odd because the site/server have all been fine for 6-8 
   months!
 * Thanks again
 * Tardy

 * Hi there
 * I appear to be having the same problem, getting the message ‘ERROR: Invalid username
   or e-mail wordpress’.
 * I can get on the blog as usual. Everything else works!
 * I’ve looked in one of the .php files (wp-config.php) and the username is the 
   same there (or at least it reads ‘username_wrdp1’). I’ve tried a variety of different
   configurations of the username – to no avail – I always get this message: ERROR:
   Invalid username or e-mail.
 * What should I do now?
 * Thanks
 * Tardy

 * Thanks esmi! I think I was lazily hoping there might be another way.

 * Thanks esmi. Is that just a case of deleting all the files and reuploading them
   from WP again?
