hi, I have wordpress blog. I just want to change my pasword on wp-admin , but after pasword change I can't login again with that. I have ask on "forgot pasword" menu and email confirming to me but still doesn't work. anybody have similar experiences.
Have you note down new password after changed from old one properly with caps lock or without caps lock details DON.
thank for info above but I still can't solve the problem yet I think pasword is not case sensitive, btw I have using "lost your password" link then fill my valid email. I got message in my inbox email like this "To reset your password visit the following address, otherwise just ignore this email and nothing will happen. http://bla bla ba.........." after click that link above appear this message "Sorry, that key does not appear to be valid." and I must fill my email again. this repeat happen. anybody can explain ?
I found this problem last night. Is this a new problem with the newer version of WP? Kinda wondering how my users can request their password reset when it doesnt work. Thanks for the above link qprojects DK
If the above doesn't work, then you need to access the Database and hard reset it from there: - Open up PhpMyAdmin, a simple application that controls your database’s. - Locate your Database, then look for a table called wp_users. - Select Browse, then click the pencil icon on the left side within the wp_users line. - Go to the field called users_pass. - Select MD5 in the Function column and type the new password in plain text, then click Go.

I once faced the same problem Refer here : http://www.village-idiot.org/archives/2007/05/22/wp-emergency-password-recovery/ (if u can't access the site use proxy...) This will surely solve the problem cause it solved mine Don't forget to delete the script after resetting the password
its a bug in wp2.5 version. If u r using gmail, yahoo or hotmail passwrod then it sends invalid key but if u usie email such as then no problem at all
