    Attempting to reach my "dashboard" I'm prompted for username and password. The only such I've used creating the site aren't recognized. In which file (wp-login, etc.) and precisely where in that file are the username and password that the program tests for? Anyone?

    Your question is not a bit clear to me. Maybe you are looking for wp-cofing file, By replacing it you can restore your username and password. maybe it will help you.
    Thanks

    Yeah rite.
    didn't understand what you ask for.
    Database username, password or blog username password.
    For database you can check wp-config.php
    and for blog you can ask for new password or can change via phpmyadmin

    The answer to this question, which I obtained from the wordpress.org forum, is that the password is stored in the MySQL database.

    for wordpress user & password, it is store on database,
    on table wp_users
    you can change it easily by edit the record, change the password (and make sure choose MD5)
