Fellow warriors...

I recently installed an update to my wordpress blog and now I can't access with my details (username and password). Does anyone know how I can access the database directly and make a change to the admin login details?

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Mike

    Just scroll down and see

    I recommend "Through FTP" and "Using the Emergency Password Reset Script"

        You mean to say, you don't have login form on login page ?

    Use phpMyAdmin from your hosting account to get into the database. The user information is stored in the *_users table. From phpMyAdmin you can either use the edit function by clicking on the edit link for the correct user entry, or you can use the following query:
    Code:
    UPDATE wp_users SET user_pass = MD5("mynewpassword")
 WHERE user_login = "your login name" LIMIT 1
    Substitute the correct values for password and login (and the table name, if you've changed table prefixes)
