Thanks very much for your suggestions, fellas. I looked through all the various possibilities on the pages you pointed me to and most of them are valid only if you have access to your control panel. If you don’t then you’re limited to a couple of options, one of which (and the easiest) is the wordpress ‘lost password feature’ which supposedly generates a new password but doesn’t seem to be working.
It says: “Click on lost password. You will be taken to a page to put in some details. Enter your user name and the email address on file for that account. Wait happily as your new password is emailed to you.” Unfortunately, I am not sent a new password but directed to a page where I can reset my password, but this resetting doesn’t seem to be working. I reset and then try to log and it repeats: ERROR: The password you entered for the username XXXX is incorrect. Lost your password?
Is there anyway I can get this lost password feature up and running again? Any help, again, would be greatly appreciated.
The other suggestions on the list are way too technical for me, I’m afraid.
