 * Hello,
 * Yesterday I created a website for a client, everything went great – she was able
   to login with the user information I provided her. Until today, I tried to login
   to the site to add some pictures.
 * The site is [http://www.hirnuvahammas.fi](http://www.hirnuvahammas.fi)
 * When I try to login via wp-login.php, it just comes up an “Error: Wrong username!”
   and the username is admin. I tried to recover the password to admin’s (my) e-
   mail, via username or e-mail, but both times I get errors again:
 * – Username or e-mail is invalid
    – No registered users for this e-mail
 * (Translations might be different, because the WP version I run is in finnish,
   but hopefully you get the point)
 * So what can I do to login to the site again, it is very urgent – thank you.

 * Thank you so much esmi, the phpMyAdmin worked. By some reason there were no users
   in database, I don’t know how this happened. But I was able to create an admin
   user with valid password and it worked – I’m in!
