Have you ever tried your hardest and can't remember the Wordpress Aministrator password?

If you are wondering, this is the user account that allows you to post to your blog. You also use this account to review guest posts etc…

It happened to me… and I'm technical and have been good at remembering the passwords; as I've been setting them to a common one.

I know, I know… It's not a good item to do that! It's a big security hole waiting to happen.

But hey, I have lots of accounts to remember. I guess in times like these that the Roboform Pro comes in handy…

I think it threw me off when I had to move my hosting to another one by combining the two. I had almost lost the database for this blog! And as a result, I completely lost the aministrator password.

Anyhow, if you ever had to reset the password, here is a pretty nice step by step way to do it manually…

Remember to select "MD5" from the dropdown after you have setted the password. Otherwise it would be saved as plain text and anyone who hacked into your DB or your hosting company will have easy access to your blog!

Good luck and enjoy!

Today I wish to share another great report by Jack Humphrey at the Friday Traffic Report:

Social Marketing Zen

If you have ever find the ever growing social media and social marketing sites that are popping up ever, if you just are confused at what to do with them, and if you just like to read a good report, then just go and read it…

I, myself, have only just starting the Web 2.0 craze recently. You do know that a blog is part of Web 2.0, right? I have found that the more information I share, especially good information, people will come back for more. That in a nutshell is what Web 2.0 is, people sharing and building following and communities.

In this report, Jack Humphrey offered a good step by step action plan to take in a bit of the Web 2.0 technology so you are not overwhelmed. Personally I like this report very much and I think it should be a required first reading if you wish to do Web 2.0…

Social Marketing Zen

Don’t be part of the social confusion! Be educated and get involved…
