Never mind. The tabma2 instructions for resetting the password worked like a charm.
Fellow sufferers: it’s not hard to do. Courage!
I too am having this problem.
First I tried to install wordpress following the manual instructions. Everything went well, except nothing happened when I tried to run the script.
So I asked the help desk at AN (I use AN hosting). They pointed me to a macro under their “Fantastico” page which indeed autoinstalled everything, and now I get my default blog page. However, neither the username nor password allows me to enter the wp_admin. I even have an email indicating what my name and password are (actually, they are the same as my AN name and password) but they are not recognized by wordpress.
Anyone have a hint, other than resetting it as was mentioned above?
Thanks,
Tim
