WordPress Standalone Copy – Cannot Login

    I have read all the FAQs I can find on this. We have purchased our own copy of WordPress and we have it running on Windows Server 2003. We never got the admin email with a user/pass and, as it turns out, there was not a admin account in the database. I am not a mySQL/PHP guru but I was able to add a record to the wp_users table with the mySQL command prompt.

    I have the user name and password in there but I am unable to login. It keeps telling me wrong password even though I know the user/pass is 100% correct. I did not do the M5 hash and I am not sure that is even required or not. I can’t believe it is but if it is then that may be the problem. I don’t know.

    In any event, I have a user/pass in the database that is not working. I notice fields in the table like user_status. I am not sure if these need to be set or not. Does anyone know if the M5 hash is the problem or what may be the problem?

    Thanks…..Rob
