Login problems

  • Hey guys, I have a website running on wordpress and I have not been able to login to it for the past two days. Two days ago I switched hosts and created a new mysql database for the site in phpmyadmin, so I’m thinking this is the problem.
    Basically I login with my correct username and password and wordpress says that my password is incorrect. I think click on retrive my password and type in my wordpress e-mail address and it says that there is no user with that e-mail address, so I type in my username and it says there is no user with that username, even though I am 100% sure there is. I can go to wordpress.com right now and login with the username just fine.
    I’ve tried disabling plugins, clearing my cookies… But nothing has worked. Do you guys have any suggestions? I NEED to login to my site soon!

  • Check what email address you actually used by using PhpMyAdmin to check your entry in the wp_users table.

    Hey man, you were right, I was using the wrong e-mail. How can I change the e-mail from
    Rows user_email
    1 [email protected]
    to
    Rows user_email
    1 [email protected]?

    First – make a backup of your entire database before you change anything.

    Then navigate to the relevant row in the wp_users table using the Browse tab. You should see a small pencil icon to the left of each row. That’s the Edit function. Click the pencil icon next to the row containing your details. You’ll be taken to a page where you can edit every field in that row. Edit the user_email field so that it holds your new email address. Then select “Go”.

    Your new email address should now be saved and you should be able to use the Lost Password function at the WP login to reset your password.

    Hey man, I appreciate your help so far. I successfully changed my e-mail after backing up my database, and I still get the “we have no user under that e-mail” error notice.

    I know this sounds painfully obvious but have you double checked the wp_users table to ensure the email address was changed?

    Yeah, the e-mail address was successfully changed. It’s real frusterating to not be able to login to my site! WordPress admits that I’m using the right username, but then it says I’m typing in the wrong password even though I’m 100% sure its right. I click on “lost your password” type in my e-mail address and I’m supposedly not a registered user on my own site! What BS! Then I type in my username and I get the same thing.
    I’ve tried clearing my cookies, deleting my wordpress plugins… To no avail.
    Do you, esmi, or anyone else have any other ideas?
    Thanks for all your help so far
