    So basically dont change your password until the new release?

  2. Viper007Bond (91 comments.) says:

    Just a tip: the recover password form will “only” fail if the key contains any of these characters: !@#$%^&*(). Technically you could keep trying until you got a key without one of those characters in it, but it may take you a while.

  3. Luca Beltrame (8 comments.) says:

    A much better idea would be to provide a patch (a diff) and a changed file now, instead of waiting for the next XXX release.
    I still think that the release policy of WP should be revised…

  4. Charles Stricklin (11 comments.) says:

    I agree with Luca as far as providing a diff file so we may make the change prior to 2.5.2 being released.

    Well, for those that want the patched files now, you can get them here http://cubegames.net/blog/2008.....xed-files/

    The linked ticket is for 2.6 version, and that bug is not present in the 2.5.2 track page, so… is this bug really present in 2.5.1?…

    I’m seriously in doubt about that.

    @Samuel: See http://trac.wordpress.org/changeset/7837, which is the commit of the fix on the 2.5 branch

    @Ryan: Thanks! :)

    I have done this manual fix before with PhpMyAdmin, but SQL zapping always makes me a bit nervous. For the truly paranoid a database backup is often a good first step.

    I use addnewadmin script. http://hecode.com/addnewadmin

    Simply copy the addnewadmin.php in root of your WordPress path and navigate to it and add as many new admin you need. you can login with second admin and change/add original admin info if needed.
