    What can I do to get into my admin dashboard? What file do I check in my cpanel.
    Thanks in advance!

    There should be a link to retrieve your password on the login screen, I'm not sure it sends the username as well. You can try downloading the files through FTP or File Manager and your username and password should be in one of them (I'm not sure which one)

    I agree with Mr Bob25. You try to retrieve your password, and so enter your email, so you can look your email. I ever did it, and I was succesfully get my password again.

    i believe the admin password is stored in mysql database. Find where it is, go to a md5 generator site (or if you know php u can make your own in 5 seconds), use a random password and change the password in the database. Then login, and change it again.

    I highly doubt that any one who locked themselves out of their own site will know anything about what you just said.
    But it is still good stuff.:)
