I was using my username in the attempted login.
Last night I took advantage of the unlimited login attempts that Mac users are graced with and was able to login. I would still like to circumvent the limitation of not being able to email from localhost.
What I don’t understand is my inability to change the PW when apparently following the instructions and opened PHPmyAdmin on the Mac and changed the PW followed by MD 5 & GO.
I did pick up some Youtube instructions for emails from localhost though most are, I believe, for Windows since I don’t think the Mac handles .exe files.
Thanks again for your attention.
