Invalid Username

    I cannot log in to my blog *at all*. I tried using the phpadmin tip that was given to another user, changing my admin password etc, deleting cookies, etc. No luck on anything. The problem is that I have not used the site for a while and very cleverly didn’t have the passwords written down.

    I have a feeling I will simply have to save the layout and delete this db and install another one, but is there any way I can avoid doing that?

    Thanks in advance.

    WordPress uses MD 5 Hash. to store passwords. Did you try to convert a text to md5 string and then updating your db ?

    i went into php admin and changed it using md 5 option. i’m not sure how to do what you describe above, not being good at programming!

    For future reference, many options in the docs section at this page: Resetting_Your_Password
