forgot password

I thought that you had to go into phpAdmin to change the username.

You thought right, and being locked out of your blog wont affect that.

Follow one one of these tutes, and you’ll be fine:

hth

if you forgot your password but have access to phpmyadmin, here’s what you can do:

go here https://www.johnmaguire.us/tools/hashcalc/ and type in a new password (this should be a temporary one)
then you will get a list of hashed passwords on next page, copy and paste the MD5 since thats what wordpress uses.
Example: the word ‘password’ would look like this: 5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99

Then open up phpmyadmin, go to user table, find “admin” and copy and paste the hash into the password field.

Then login with the word you hashed, ‘password’ in my case.
