How long is the activation link for a new user valid for ?
and the same for the resetting password link.

Thank you in advance.

When you click on the link emailed to reset the password there is only one field with a password already filled in. When I click the “Reset Psassword” button, I get this message:

The passwords do not match.
Please confirm your new password.

Has anyone else experienced this? I posted this to the WP Password Policy Manager plugin support page, but haven’t gotten a response.

I tried using the “forgot password” link at the login screen, but it no longer recognizes my email address, so I can’t use that feature.

I found this codex page on resetting your password.

I tried using FTP to modify the functions.php file, but that didn’t work either. I added

wp_set_password(‘password’,1);

To the beginning of the functions.php, but I still can’t log in.

The MySQL option looks intimidating, and I don’t think I even have access to that feature. I’m hosted by godaddy, and when I access the database, I don’t see an interface for me to enter scripts to modify the database.

I tried the “Using the Emergency Password Reset Script”, and it took the information I entered, but once I tried to log in with that new password, it wouldn’t take it.

The codex page states that it updates the admin’s pswd, and send an email to my email address.

I didn’t receive an email after I entered the new password, so I’m wondering if the hackers modified something else somewhere that prevented me from changing the password and/or removed my email address from the database.

Anyone have any suggestions on how I can get into my admin panel?

Thanks in advance.

In a nutshell; I tried to upgrade my blog to wordpress 2.6. In doing so it did something odd with my passwords and wouldn’t let me log in. I tried both the ‘lost password’ emailed route, and your tutorial on changing it in the database with myPHPadmin – sadly neither worked.

I eventually backed up my blog (on Frontpage), and my database and then unistalled WordPress (rightly or wrongly) thinking I could re-install and reload my data, themes, posts, etc but I’m obviously doing something wrong because I can’t get it up ‘n running …a polite request to anyone who could help, please! :o)

Kind regards, Steve

I can’t manually reset the passwrd in phpMyadmin each time a user forget their passwrd. I have more than 100 users so that is not an option.

Anyone know what’s wrong with the reset function? Or what I should look for?
