    WordPress Tip: When you Forget your WordPress Username and Password

    August 10th, 2010 | Posted in blog 2 Comments »

    In working with clients on WordPress projects, I routinely run across people who forget their WordPress username and password. Fortunately, if you still remember the FTP username and password, just upload this “emergency.php” script from Yoast to your root directory, go to http://yoursite.com/emergency.php, and voila, you can change your WordPress username and password. You may need to download the wp-config.php file to grab the database password, but that’s it.

      I assume you delete the file after you make the change?

      Love the blog. Don’t know how you generate all the content for it but it’s an inspiration to me.
