Cannot login with correct username and password anymore

I’m guessing you’ve tried clicking on the “Your post password?” link below the login, and are (for some reason) unable to receive the resulting email.

If you have direct access to the database, you can update the password directly:

update wp_users set user_pass=md5('my_new_password') where user_name="my_login");
