You can enter a new user and password in the db.
thanks for the reply. Where is the db sorry? lol
The database is with your hosted account with Go Daddy. If you have db questions they most likely have an FAQ or will respond to questions. Make sure you or Go Daddy backs up the db before you mess with it.
pkwooster i am not sure that will work because its saying it doesnt recognise my email address when i say i cant remeber my password etc.
kmessinger, could you help me over skype with this please?
Sorry, I am not in a good place for skype. Your best bet would be to contact support at Go daddy.
There are several suggested ways to get around this in that article when you can’t be contacted by email. I’ve found the one where you build a new password, hash it and replace it in the database works best. I’ve had no luck with the one where you add a line of code to the top of functions.php.
There is a brute force method of logging in if you have access to the php code. You can add the line return true; near the top of the wp_check_password function in file pluggable.php.
This will allow any valid account to log in with any password except empty.
If you use this, you have DEFEATED ALL SECURITY on your site, so REMOVE IT AS SOON AS YOU HAVE RESET YOUR PASSWORD.
