Unable to log in now..

After no changes on my part to my database/info, I find I can no longer log in to Textpattern. It gives me a bad password error. I don’t THINK that my server has been compromised, but I can’t be 100% sure. If so, then they must not be that interested in doing anything, because none of the content has changed :P

It is important that the fix be quick and simple – I don’t have time to spend working on the site, nor can I afford the downtime. Right now I just can’t update, which isn’t a huge deal.

I’d guess the easiest fix would be to just run a simple SQL command to update the password field, but I’m not sure how Textpattern enters the password field (with any hashing and whatnot), and I don’t have time to search.

I do have admin level privs to the database, obviously.

Thanks, I completely missed that when I read the FAQ. No idea how I did.
