 * Hi all,
 * In a bit of a panic right now. Dumped a lot (LOT!) of hours in to a site is why.
   I ended up losing my admin password (don’t ask haha), no big deal, went in to
   mysql to change it like usual. BIG PROBLEM, I still can’t log in to my site even
   after I change it. I think since I did the “rename ID1” fix it is causing all
   kinds of chaos because I’ve never had a problem before setting passwords at the
   database level. I even tried changing ID2 back to ID1. Nothing.
 * I think ithemes security is intercepting the DB rename and even user creation
   because even if I create a new user at the DB level I can’t even login with that.
 * Now I do have a backup but I REALLY don’t want to do that at this point. It’s
   not the world’s most current backup either.
 * Meanwhile I did every “admin password” trick I could find, including running 
   an admin password script on the root. Still can’t do it.
 * HELLPPPP!!!! 🙁
