 * /sigh.
 * Okay, here’s my situation. I respawned my computer recently, which destroyed 
   my cookie into my site, Archivecrawl.com.
 * After I finished installing the OS, Firefox, the like, I tried to log into my
   dashboard using my username and password. No dice, it rejects it, which was strange,
   but whatever. Maybe it thought that I was a foreign intruder. So I tried the “
   forgot password” option and plugged in the email account that I registered on.
   No dice, it has no record of that email.
 * Okay, then. I plug in every single email address that I’ve used in the last five
   years. It rejects all of them. Then, as a last ditch effort, I plug in my username
   and it sends off the code to the email address provided, in the hopes that it’ll
   show up in one of my inboxes. No luck.
 * So, I’m basically locked out of my own site with no way of getting in, for reasons
   that are utterly beyond me. Is there any advice for you WordPress vets to offer
   this utter noob in the terms of bypassing my own login screen?
 * Note: I did do a backup of the site’s materials before I respawned, so I have
   that. However, I’d really prefer not having to reinstall WordPress.
