Title: wp-login.php problems Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # wp-login.php problems * [juliankeil](https://wordpress.org/support/users/juliankeil/) * (@juliankeil) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-loginphp-problems/) * Hi, * I just removed my site from /blog to the root directory. Everything seemed to work fine, the site has successfully moved (now at: [http://69.89.31.52/~festtags/](http://69.89.31.52/~festtags/)). However, I can’t longer login to the admin panel. The wp-login.php does nothing, and the password-reset link works neither. I already followed the emergency password reset script posted here: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/emergency-password-reset-script?replies=6](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/emergency-password-reset-script?replies=6) and got an email that the password has been reset, but I still can’t log in. * Does anyone have a suggestion to go on from here? * Thanks a lot!

I can change the password in the MySQL database, but I can’t use the new password to log in. * Thread Starter [juliankeil](https://wordpress.org/support/users/juliankeil/) * (@juliankeil) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-loginphp-problems/#post-4688080) * Is it possible that the wp-login.php got broken by moving to root? The odd thing is, that even I never get any feedback (e.g. “worng password”) even when I leave the user/pw fields empty. So I assume, the problem is not actually with the password, but with the wp-login. Is there any way to check this? Would uploading a newer version of wp-login.php change solve anything? * [DJDoubleXL189](https://wordpress.org/support/users/djdoublexl189/) * (@djdoublexl189) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-loginphp-problems/#post-4688085) * Is it actually saying incorrect username or password? * Are you editing the right database? * Thread Starter [juliankeil](https://wordpress.org/support/users/juliankeil/) * (@juliankeil) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-loginphp-problems/#post-4688087) * Hi DJ, * no, it’s not saying/doing anything. I strongly assume I’m editing the right database, as it’s the only wordpress database on the server and has the right user in it. * _[Moderator note: Please don’t bump]_ * [Irina0708](https://wordpress.org/support/users/irina0708/) * (@irina0708) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-loginphp-problems/#post-4688246) * Добрый день! Прошу помощи, я новичек, и может не в тему.. Год назад сделала сайт, сейчас он мне нужен но я почему то, не могу зайти в админ панель, то есть не появляется окошко для логина и пароля. ВВожу wp-login.php и пустое окошко..( Напомните, а нужно ли установить вордпресс, чтоб зайти в админ панель) И еще не помню домен покупается навсегда, или нет? Я его купила, но не знаю нужно его снова проплачивать как хостинг.
