Invalid key to forgotten password

Hey forums!

Hope all is well.

Had a site on the back burner and moving it to the front. Already have s2member installed, unfortunately, the password seems to be off, when I send myself the email to reset, the link in the email sends me back to the login page with the error message “Sorry, that key does not appear to be valid”

I’ve tried different computers, and clearing the cookies…

Any ideas?

Other than starting over… lol

If you can register a new user, and if you have access to the database I would register a new user, get the e-mail with your password for the new account…

Then I would go into the db and copy the password from your new user into the password field for your admin account, then try to login as admin with the new password.

It might work. Other than that, I don’t have any ideas.. lol

Hope that helps,

Dave

Thanks bro…I was hoping that starting over woudn’t have to be the case :P

I’ll give this another day or two to see what else other people have before trying your option, it’s not a BAD idea i think, but i want to see if anyone has anything better than “it might work” ;)

and like you said, there’s always the reinstall! (rrggg)

Max,

This seems to be a fairly common problem with wordpress… i found this page that gives several options, but apparently you can just md5 a new password into your account and it should work.
