CAN’T LOGIN!! NOT EVEN WHEN PASSWORD IS RESET!

dont YELLLL, it doesnt help, and we arent aolers so we dont like it.

how did you reset your password? Are you getting the reset password emails? etc..?

^^ Sorry if it seemed like I yelled that’s not what I did.

Anyway, I pressed the “lost password” and I received the emails , clicked the link typed in my user name and new password – yet still nothing.

I don’t know what to do.

Should I try downloading the wp-config.php file and change the password like that? I used fantastico and it auto installed itself. And I believe my version of wp is 2.1.2

Thnx.

No, The password in “wp-config” is your *database* password, Not the admin user password.

Yeah I figured that after I made this post, lol. What should I do?

The passwords aren’t working and I really need to update my site!

Is there anything else?

Sorry, don’t mean to bump but I meant to say that when I go to my wp-admin it says “Your session has expired” “ERROR: Incorrect password”

Any ideas what I can do? I also tried logging in with my cousin’s account and that won’t even work.

Any clue as to what I should do?

I really need to update , this is really frustrating!

Try this. I’ve done this before on 2.1.3 and it seemed to work just fine.

Open phpmyadmin.
Go to your WordPress Database.
Select “wp_users” (It could be what ever you specified in the installation of the DB prefix)
Select your username and select “Edit”
You’ll see a line of MD5 in the “user_pass” field. Delete it.
Enter the new password and from the dropdown box select “MD5” (You MUST do that or it wont work)
Click save.
Now try to login with the password you typed in. -NOT the long bit of MD5 you see-

All should be well.

And here is the “illustrated” version for the steps outlined above:
