yeah in fact i have my own way around!
first of all if you have simplescripts installed
on your host, you have to determine the database number
for the domain you require to access.
should look something like this:
Hostname: localhost
Username: aaaaaaa_wp06
Database Name: aaaaaaa_wp06
Table Prefix: wp_

second, after you have identified the database number you should go to cpanel to phpmyadmin.
Once inside in phpmyadmin you will see on the left column the databases installed on your host you have to select the one you already
identified.
Click on it !
aaaaaaa_wp06
then on the colum called tables select the icon search (it is a tiny magnifier on it)
then you will see in the next page “Select fields (at least one)”
select : user_email and click on the GO button
and it will appear next page: user_email , there is a small pencil to edit the name of your email where you can retrieve your password.

Hello- Yes, it worked! And yes, I was able to change my lost password, BUT one complaint- punctuation.

take step #3, for example: Type “use name-of-database” (Select your WordPress database)

where is the FREAKIN SEMICOLON? ;;;;;;;;;; ahhhhh!

I know, I know. Duh. But really… If you’re sharing code, please give commands their own line with proper punctuation. For us small minded people who only remember a few things about all these damn languaages. It may seem like minutiae, but computers discern these things better than us humans do.

And I’ll be able to keep all my hair before I remember to close my command lines.

peace

@SB – Thanks for pointing that out! In case you haven’t read the second post, I’d like to let you know that this is a two part series and Part II is more user friendly in terms of instruction as it has some screenshots.

I know what you mean and I appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. If you think the other post is still to advanced for newbies, please let me know how I can improve it so I can make another post that will be more user-friendly. Thanks again and have a nice day! :)
