Thanks. If I were to go the FTP route, where would I start? The directions in that link makes the assumption that the reader automatically knows what he/she is doing.
Thanks for the response, folks. Here’s what I think is happening:
–My site went down Monday and I think whatever DreamHost did to get it back up led to the wp-admin glitch. I’m working with them on that.
–When I am able to reach the log-in page, it rejects my password, even though it is absolutely the correct one.
–When I try resetting it, the reset email they tell me was sent to my address never shows up.
–Any changes that involve plugins is a non-starter since I can’t get into the admin page.
