This does not work, but thanks for the effort. The get_links_list code is the whole problem. I’m having a hard time believing that no one has ever cared to edit this part of their page before!

Thanks. I jumped through some different hoops myself to fix it:

Nope. Sorry to be such a bother, but that’s not it, either. I went to the hash generator, or whatever it’s called, and entered the password, and it gave me the code for it. I then went and entered it as the password, being careful to follow all the steps for entering a password that were previously outlined. But when I went to login, “admin” plus the password did not work.
I have tried the “send me my password” function several times as well. Even though I am SURE that the username and password are correct, it tells me that the username is not recognized. I had three usernames before, and none of them work now. All of them are “not recognized,” not even when I have checked and double-checked that these are established usernames and the correct corresponding email addresses. It’s easy for me to check, since I just loaded all this information a few hours ago into my localhost. I can view my localhost settings and see that they have not changed, and still work on my localhost, with the same usernames, passwords, and emails that worked a few hours ago on my *real* host as well. My *real* host settings have somehow been fucked badly, and I don’t want to re-install the whole damn thing.

Followed that to the letter. Entered the database via phpmyadmin. went to wp_users table. Went to user_pass. Set the function to PASSWORD. Changed the password. Still doesn’t work. I’m not *that* bad a typist. I’m still lost.

OK, I did that. I can now access the login page correctly, at least. Only now, I cannot login. It does not recognize the password I’ve been using under the username “admin.”
Grr. What gives?
