WP import
-
Following import into WP 3.9 I cannot login.
Live WordPress 3.9 site will be migrated. I obtained files and WP database “globalrec” export – let’s call the file gr.sql

======
I created a new local (Windows 7 64 bit) WP 3.9 installation with db=”gr” and WP site login gr/gr.
I could login and see the typical fresh WP installation with the Hello post and also created new posts.Logged out from WP.
From phpAdmin I cannot import gw.sql due to primary key validation thus I have to drop every single table from “gr” database.
This clearly indicates import could not overwrite existing structure of the database.I can successfuly import into “gr” when no tables exist there using gr.sql – I see rows, post titles etc from sql.
The problem:
I cannot login into WP using my original credentials gr/gr which I used when installing WPSince I don’t know keys when passwords for the live site were created, nothing from gr.sql helped (admin and resp. password)
Note:
I had also WP 3.8.1 installation and imported and logged in but I could not see imported posts and pages.
(I had certain tab plugins which did not work in 3.9 thus I tried to remain in well functioning 3.8.1.)What can I do?
I am happy to use either 3.9 or 3.8.1 but what to do with this import failed login for WP 3.9 and/or missing posts and pages in 3.8.1 ?Thanks very much.
