    I have a WP site, which for some reason does not let me login in the admin. I put the login and password and it keeps on giving a "incorrect password" message. Besides this fact, the site works well and has no errors. I need somebody knowledgeable in WP to fix this.

    I tried that... about 10 times. This error happened after I installed another wp installation inside a folder by ftp, so maybe one of the files in the original folder got messed up. The site is working fine though, it is just the acces to the admin that is not working.

    He's right, use phpmyadmin to modify your admin password ind wp_users table and make sure to set type to MD5.
