Hacking Wordpress When You’ve Forgotten Your Password
Do you have multiple Wordpress self-hosted blogs? If so, you’ve likely run into a scenario where you just can’t remember your password. With Wordpress 2.5 and 2.5.1 there’s an annoying bug that sometimes generates passwords that don’t work when you click the “Forgot Password” option. Usually that button generates a query that will send an email with a temporary password that allows you to reset your password to whatever you wish. The bug in 2.5 will still do that but when you click on the link that should allow you to reset your password, nothing happens.
