 * My client was locked out of her admin panel. I was attempting to add a snippet
   of code to beginning of file to reset password via ftp. Figured I was safe as
   long as I backed up the original file.

 * Thanks so much! I was looking for a backdated version of the file….uploaded the
   one from 2.4.2 (closest I could find) and it seems to have worked!
