Hi!

No, you must set a new password inside the "serendipity_authors" database table, with a tool like phpMyAdmin.

There is a recover password plugin, but you would have needed to install that when you still knew your password/username

thanks for the reply.

i think my easiest option is going to be a deletion of the folder and reinstall.

far quicker than learning how to use phpadmin

can i request a lost password option for a new version please

Hi!

There's a plugin for that you can install the next time

Password recovery is always a loss of security, thus I'm not in favor of adding this to the default serendipity core.
