 * Since receiving email about wp security I have been trying to change my wp login&
   password through my c-panel phpMyAdmin using the instructions at the link below.
   
   [http://codex.wordpress.org/Resetting_Your_Password](http://codex.wordpress.org/Resetting_Your_Password)
   I have done this before but this time it doesn’t want to accept it. I am now 
   locked out of my wp. I’m not sure if I had previously upgraded to version 3.6
   or not and can’t get in to verify.
 * What is going on? I contacted our host, Hostpapa, and they said I would have 
   to contact you.
 * Thanks for any help I can get.

 * Have you tried any of the other ways in the link to change your password?

 * got it solved. it is taking my MD5 hash tag as login and password not what i 
   entered in.
    will look into why this is happening and what i have to do differently.
   thanks

 * Your topic title says that you have problems with phpmyadmin password, but your
   post is about WordPress admin password.
    Decide which problem you have.
 * If you have problem with changing WordPress admin password in phpmyadmin / database,
   than you can use generator on link I gave you in my previous post.
    Use it to
   generate password in MD5.
