 * Hi
    I have the new version of wordpress and having trouble logging on. When I
   go to my wp-login.php and type in my admin and password and i get this error 
   Error: Wrong username.
 * It does not seem to be injecting the admin account. The tables are there and 
   my email is there. Anyone know how to help?

 * I have tried that and I am still getting the same error messages. Error: Wrong
   username. There is no admin username whatsoever?
