    Just under the the comment:
    // redefining user_login ensures we return the right case in the email
    Replace:
    $user_login = $user_data[‘user_login’];
    with:
    $user_login = $user_data->user_login;
    #4. Your blog host should provide you with phpMyadmin access to your databases for you to do this.
    Open phpMyadmin, and click on the users table in the left menu (it could be wp_users, or yourprefix_users)
    Click “Browse”
    Click on the edit button next to the admin user.
    Delete whatever is in the password field.
    Now go to https://bfl.rctek.com/tools/?tool=hasher
    enter your desired password, and copy the hash that it generates
    Paste the hash in the password field for admin
    Save the info in the database.
    Login to WordPress using “admin” and the password you used to create the hash.

  • Hi, I had just installed WordPress (latest stable version) on my Linux host and was able to login at first. The next time I attemped to login using my new Windows XP machine and IE 6 I entered the correct details and the login screen refreshed but no admin and empty login details. I purposely entered an incorrect password and the dialog higlighted this error…correct password and a brief flash of the screen and still no longin!!! I followed all posts on the forum, but all to no avail. This morning I tried a different machine and hey presto, so I looked into IE settings and found that the Privacy setting in IE needs to be set to at least LOW before I am able to login. I hope that this post saves others the frustration!! Regards Andy

    I had the exact same problem as Andy a few days ago. I could log-in on a different computer, but not the one I usually use (both run Windows 2000). After trying several suggested “solutions” without success, merely rebooting the computer solved the problem. Until then I could not log-in using Firefox or IE. As with many PC problems, rebooting is one of the first things to try.
    WordPress powers our entire church web site – I love it!
