Can't access one of my WP sites anymore

The site is live, the login page is working but when I enter my password it says that password is unknown (WP site). Then I try to reset my pw but it says email address is not recognized, what the heck.

So I login to phpMyAdmin, select the right database, change my e-mail address there, change my password as well after converting it to MD5 code, and I try to login again and still nothing.

I try the "lost password" function again and this time I do receive the pw reset email (as I changed my email address inside the database already), so I follow the link, reset my password, try to login again and again password failure, I try it another 5-10 times in case I make spelling errors too often or anything but no way to be able to login, all the time the same message.

What I suspect what can have to do with it is this.

When I type in site.com/wp-admin I get redirected to:

hxxp://www.site.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=hxxp%3A%2F%2Fsite.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1
But there are no www redirections in my cpanel, but it is possible that I changed it inside the WP dashboard some day.

Any idea how or where to fix that inside the database?

    I'd do a new clean install with DB backup, instead of wasting time on finding a fix.

      Yeah normally I would do to but I have 100+ posts from clients on that site.

      Wow it works, thank you!

      How silly.

        I've ran into similar problems before where it came down to simply clearing the browser cache. Of course, I tried all the more time consuming and complex possible solutions first :rolleyes:

        WP is a simple CMS at first glance, but it sure can frustrate you at moments

    I suggest you dont store password in your browser. Its better you just type your login whenever you need to access your wp-admin.
