i don’t use WP, but that’s a nice trick :)

Isn’t it easier to just choose “md5″ from the Function dropdown and then type your own password? :) Mysql then converts what you typed in to md5 for you, and updates the database with it.

good point, didn’t realize the functions are there :)

cant you go to other people’s wp lost password page (http://pixelate.ai-fragment.net/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword) and enter your information? never really tried though.

if the lost password function did not work

like ppl who changed their email address etc.

I got a 404 Not Found for that link, but here’s another tutorial on WordPress password repair through phpMyAdmin.
