Can't reset password

Help!!

I’ve tried the “reset password” option but it doesn’t send the email. I’ve checked all my spam folders etc and it hasn’t sent the email.

Since that wasn’t working, I went into the databas table called txp_users to manually change the password, but that doesn’t work either.

Does anyone have any tips? I really need to get into my site!!!

Thanks :o)

Re: Can't reset password

Did you follow exactly this method (from the faq)?

With phpMyAdmin, or at the MySQL command prompt, run the following query:

update txp_users set pass=password(lower(‘pass’)) where name=‘user’;

..where pass is the new password, and user is the login username.

Did you do this (The Process, #6):

In the function column for the pass field, select PASSWORD from the drop down box. You may then delete the hash and enter a plaintext password in the corresponding value field. Letters in this field should be all lowercase.
