Hi, I'm Jeff. I'm the editor of Nettuts+, and the Site Manager of Theme Forest. I spend too much time in front of the computer and find myself telling my fiance', "We'll go in 5 minutes!" far too often. I just can't go out to dinner while I'm still producing FireBug errors...drives me crazy. I love jQuery, PHP, MYSQL, CSS, AJAX - pretty much anything.

    I got as far as Username, password. I typed in admin I had copied the password from the previous page and pasted it into Password. I receive an ERROR: incorrect password. lost your password message. I can get no farther. Trying to send myself the message via the email option obviously doesn’t work. I did try :)

    Earlier when I installed the wordpress I got the following errors (see screen shot) http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2551/3746064389_39a6a94828_o.jpg but the username and password dialog boxes appeared I copied the password and hit the button, this worked bringing me to a login page

    What is the problem? Anyone

    I googled and found a wordpress forum that suggested opening the wp-config.php and changing the $table_prefix = ‘wp_’; to $table_prefix = ‘wp1_’; then go to site address. I did this and the process went smoothly. setting up as per a new blog.

    Clearly the database had gotten confused somewhere along the process, sorted.

    I got into admin changed my password and can potter around Dashboard, ‘just like’ on the web. I look forward to following the rest of your video tutorial.
