    I’d welcome a little advice.
    I’m working on a WP theme in localhost on my pc.
    for some reason I went to open localhost the WP site opened but I was not able to access the dashboard. I tried to log-in but I am not able to something must have gone askew, (probably cookies removed). So now I’m locked out (and it’s cold here)
    I think I should be able to do something in MySQL or MYPHPadmin. but I’m not confident enough with either to just go in and muck.
    Pls Help,, and detailed pls ??

    There are instructions for resetting your admin password using phpMyAdmin in this article.

    clayton James i think i love you. I have been having the same issue for two weeks and could not get an answer. I deciphered the resetting password, went to php admin on local host, went to my database, chose the admin user, clicked edit, in the functions part i chose MD5, wiped out the encrypted password, typed in the new one and clicked go.
    FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IM IN BUSINESS
