 * I can’t log into my web site and when it rejects my password and I try to use
   the retrieve method it doesn’t recognize the e-mail that I know for a fact I 
   registered with. I’m completely stuck and there doesn’t seem to be any way to
   get assistance with wordpress.

 * I’ve got exactly the same problem! I’ve spent all day on it, aaaaaaaargh! In 
   my case the login is telling me that the username isn’t recognised, and like 
   newleafworks it’s not recognising the email address.
 * Please someone help us.
 * No-one else uses the site, and I’ve never given the username/password/email address
   to anyone else. Have we been messed around with by a mischief-maker, and if so
   what can we do please?

 * Thanks Esmi, but it can’t be a problem with my computer because I had someone
   try from another one and it didn’t work for her either. Any other suggestions?
 * And why can I log on to the wordpress forums but not to my wp-login or wp-admin
   sites?

 * esmi: Oh thank you thank you thank you. Frances Scolanza’s post is wonderfully
   brilliant, & it worked. I wanna hug you and hug you and hug you until you’re 
   squashed flat. If I change the email address, do I choose MD5 from the pull-down
   menu (like we do if we change the password)?
 * newleafworks: the links that esmi has posted are nothing to do with your computer.
   Take a look at the third link she posted. It shows you what your login name is
   and what email address is being used and also shows you how to change the login
   name and password so that you can then get back into your wp-admin.
 * ItI’m still perplexed at the email address

 * No. Only the password is one-way encrypted.

 * Im having another problem. After I tried to install a cronjob, after that I have
   not been able to log in to /wp-admin and when I reset the password it sends me
   an incomplete email missing the rest password link, and I have also tried to 
   change it through phpmyadmin and still not working.
    Can anybody suggest something?
