 * I’ve just installed wordpress 1.5.1.3 – that only took a few minutes – but getting
   it to go is taking hours! I can’t log in – I get an incorrect password mesage.
   Most frustrating.
 * So far I’ve tried –
    1) deleting the database and creating a new one , then reinstalling
   2) resetting the password by accessing mysql directly, using the md5hasher sequence
   for the password 3) double checking the Capslock for rule out case sensitivity
   issues
 * I’m using a local machine running IIS on winXP, mysql4.o.21 and PHP5
 * Any suggestions gratefully received.
