 * I have a weird looping issue:
 * Problem 1: at first I had “Database Update Required” error with infinite loop.
 * I fixed the version mismatch through myphpadmin as per the steps mentioned by
   various forum and [http://www.clickonf5.org/2247/solution-database-upgrade-require](http://www.clickonf5.org/2247/solution-database-upgrade-require)
 * Problem 2: I was able to get to my admin login page, but the password would not
   work.
    Through myphpadmin I am able to change, but still could not login. If 
   I use wrong password, it shows below error: ERROR: The password you entered for
   the username admin is incorrect. Lost your password?
 * Problem 3: When I try to recover through Lost your password, it says
    The e-mail
   could not be sent. Possible reason: your host may have disabled the mail() function.
 * Problem 4: I checked with my host and they asked to reconfigure the wordpress.
   I did that too following steps
    [http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress#Detailed_Instructions](http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress#Detailed_Instructions)
 * after reconfiguring, i am back to problem#1 Database Update Required and now 
   after fixing the version, I am at problem#2 again. Login issue.
 * Can you please help?
