oh my god – my wordpress… gone?

  • Well I just tried to login to my wordpress admin but it wouldn’t let me in. I know *I*haven’t changed the username/password. So I tried ‘forgot password’ and it said ‘no such user exists’ even though I know my login.
    anyway, is there anyway to reset the username and password so I can get into wordpress and not lose all my coding, themes – reinstallation.
    Please help, I really want to get it back :'(
    I think someone hacked it just out of spite. Is there any way to find the IP of last login to wp or anything because no-one’s accessed my ftp.
    Is there anyway I can make wordpress 1.2 more secure without upgrading to a higher/newer version?

    sorry, I don’t have that ??

    What is what you “don’t have”? Could you be more explicit?

    I haven’t got that installed in my cpanel. And I can’t install it because I never understand installation instructions- they’re really long.
    do you have any other suggestions?

    I think you just didn’t find it. In any decent cPanel there should be a link to phpMyadmin. Take a second look!

    where is it usually on a cpanel?

    cPanel is not “that” big – it’s one page, but the display depends on theme, version etc.
    Somewhere, where the database related things are.

    Here’s a screenshot of my cpanel: https://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a364/hamibluez/cpanel.jpg

    can you see it on there? Is it possible it’s on a subpage? I’ve got cpanel X (10)

    Click mysql databases
    scroll to the bottom of that page
    It’s in the middle, blue type

    Thanks Podz I found it. I changed my password back and yet I still can’t login. I changed my password following the tutorial. here’s a screenie: https://dragonrust.org/untitled.bmp
    I’ve tried logging in with ‘admin’,’Admin’,’administrator’,’Administrator’ followed by my pass. but I still cant login. same message as before ??
    btw here’s the link to my login https://dragonrust.org/wp/wp-admin
    use the pass on the screenie etc.

    The user is always admin.

    bump

    I have a problem that may call for a similar approach.

    I was updating the URL in the admin options from the stop-gap URL to the domain based one. And I screwed up.

    I was putting in a .org domain and I must have accidentally left in the .com because now when I go the the URL for the admin, it jumps to org.com. So, I can’t access the admin at all, and I need to know how to edit that URL setting some other way to get my blog back!

    I don’t know exactly what to look for, and I’m not familiar with phpmyadmin and worried about making things worse, so any help or suggestions would be appreciated!

    resolved! (phew!)
    I looked at the tamba2 site referenced above, but I went into wp_options instead of _users, found the .org.com and (while holding my breath) made it .org. And it’s all back. Thanks
