Not Logging In….

    Hi people, have my first real problem with WordPress….

    I go to the login screen, enter the administrator name and password and it tells me I have the wrong password which is strange because I have not changed it.

    So, having Navicat, I logged into the database, opened the users table and put in a new password (which obviously is just written and does not contain the random characters) but this has not worked…

    can anyone offer help or a solution please?

  • Actually these are the rare diseases faced by WordPress Themes. You can try to recover password by clicking Recover Password button. If the problem is not solved, then you can reinstall the theme by deleting the Theme folder since you have no access over WordPress admin panel.

    Thejas, actually it was NOT a wordpress problem, the first sign of something more serious was when it happened on another website I host, then both started giving me PHP Violition Errors.

    Further investigation revealed a corrupted .dll file on the server, so rather than try and correct it, as it was an older version of PHP, I installed the latest version and all problems solved… nearly!

    It still would not recognise my password, but this time it allowed me use the ‘forgotten’ password option and sent me the link to change it.

    Appreciate your assistance anyway, thank you.

    Your welcome dear demonlee!
