    When installing wordpress on my pc, I had no problems until step 2 where it seemed to freeze. Now I’ve got the blog running but as I didn’t get the password nor the username I cannot modify it’s content.

    Thank you for any help.

  • Since it’s a new install, DROP or FLUSH your DB tables with the prefix wp_ and run the install again.

    I’ve tried flushing the database several times but it doesn’t make any difference.

    Thanks anyway

    I’ve managed to deal with my problem thanks to https://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/phpmyadmin/

    A way to bypass the bug is this.
    Replace line 390 in index-install.php before install or on a reinstall.

    It will input YourPassword as the password.

    $user_id = wpmu_create_user( ‘admin’, $pass, $email);

    Change to:

    $user_id = wpmu_create_user( ‘admin’, YOURPASSWORD, $email);

    Change the code back after install for secuirty.

    Note: If you got stuck on first page or it bypassed database fields setup, like mail server. Open upgrade-schema.php from your wp-admin directory and find.

    add_option(‘admin_email’, ‘[email protected]’);

    add_option(‘mailserver_url’, ‘mail.example.com’);
    add_option(‘mailserver_login’, ‘[email protected]’);
    add_option(‘mailserver_pass’, ‘password’);

    and put in your information.
