How can I backup my database, reinstall WP and reload my old database?

born2blog · 05-06-2008, 03:21 PM

I've run into a problem. I need to reinstall Wordpress on one of my blogs, since I lost my WP admin login details, I have many posts on the blog already and I need to know how can I store the database for the old posts, reinstall WP and then still have my old posts show up?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!!

There's a neat little file you can ftp into your root directory that allows you to get into your blog by resetting the password, as long as you know your username. This way you don't have to mess with your database if you don't feel good about that. Download it at village-idiot.org -- reset your lost WordPress administrator password

r wp database will still have the admin/pw you set, so you need to reset it from wordpress, or use the plugin above
