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.
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.
