Hi, I think I have had my wordpress hacked and just need to change the password through myphp but I can't seem to do it for some reason. They haven't done anything to the actual site as far as I can see I'm just unable to log in. Should be an easy fix for someone who knows their stuff. Thanks Mabbs
Do you have another blog? If yes then; Login to your other blog through phpMyAdmin, browse to the wp_users table, edit the "admin" username and copy the encrypted password; Go back to your "compromised" blog, and login through phpMyAdmin, browse to wp_users table and edit the admin username, paste the password you copied from the other blog. Once done that, try logging in with the same password you used in the other blog. The same way, you can change the username if you want. The problem why it doesn't change is that you input a normal password, while password are stored in the DB as encrypted so it doesn't read it correctly. Hope it helps.
I'm assuming the 'Lost your password?' option on the login page wasn't helpful? If you haven't thought about this, and the email address is still set correctly on your account, you should be able to use this and get it taken care of.
