:Hi, i need to get into my wordpress dashboard but the login will not work. I lost my password and try for days to get a new one sent to my email but it will not work aswell. I will pay 5$ for someone fixing this problem.
you can try the instruction in this site http://codex.wordpress.org/Login_Trouble of further instruction here on resetting password, http://codex.wordpress.org/Resetting_Your_Password
it is not code mate, it is just a cpanel, phpmyadmin access. and your db., it is basically changing your old password with new one using phpmyadmin. or you can use this emergency script.excerpt from the link above
Oh, great than I should have no problem paying anyone to fix it than , I don't have the time to do it?
that would be a waste of money mate. I can just do it for you for free. Just pm me your cpanel info and your DB name, username and password.
oh, that is the reason then, the time to fix your WP. okay, let me know if Hades above have already done it.
I did it, and logged in. It's kind of interesting though. He didn't have a password set up for his username. I think when he changed his username, he somehow deleted the password as well, so he couldn't really log in. I logged in, and it works now. Sent him the pm with his new info.
Thanks it seems nothing is working right for me even my keyboard is acting up since I clean it this morning with windex. It been a bad day or a bad week because everything I touch somthing goes wrong.
i have a solution but you need to do a little bit homework. do you have wp installed in your localhost? install wp and create new account with any password that you can remember. then go to phpmyadmin and browse to your wp database and then go to wp-users table. copy the hashed password from user_pass field. now go to your phpmyadmin panel at your server, go to wp database and paste the hashed password into the wp-users table in user_pass field. then, try login back to your wp using the new password. -cypher.
there are many methods of resetting the WP password. I have already done that on my WP blog using http://www.village-idiot.org/archives/2007/05/22/wp-emergency-password-recovery/ If you still havent got your password just shoot me a pm and i can help you..
This issue has already been solved. Cypher, it took me less than 20 seconds to change his password. Do you know how long your way takes? It's crazy. There are much faster ways to do this.
hahaha... if i had the same problem, i will replace the hash password with new hash password that i know. it is really easy though. or maybe you can share with us how you fix the problem. -cypher.
can be done in 20 second or less if you have access to phpmyadmin, db, browse, wp_user, change pass hash to new with MD5. save. done
This is what i did. MD5 creates a new hash for you. Why would you need to install wp on your localhost and then do all this other unneccessary things in order to change your password. The only people who need wp on localhost are those that either code wp plugins or those that code wp themes. No other reason to have it.
read the above quote. i already said that. i know it can be done by replacing the hashed password. -cypher.
