Are you using version 0.9.1?

My guess would be that you either mistype your password when trying to login, or someone has "captured" your password/cookie from unencrypted network traffic.

What about the "Forgot password" link? It should work, as long as your email address has not been changed.

You could change both of it (email and password) directly in the DB (table evo_users). When changing the password, you'll have to MD5() it.

I tried the new password option and had a new password e-mailed to me.

Now when I log in I get this message:

"Since you're a newcomer, you'll have to wait for an admin to authorize you to post. You can also e-mail the admin to ask for a promotion. When you're promoted, just reload this page and you'll be able to blog. :)"

I don't know if this means anything, but this occurred exactly one year to the date I created my blog.

It means, that your cookie expired.

"Newcomer" means, that you do not have appropriate rights.

So, now my guess is, that you have not requested the password for the "admin" user, but just another one, which has level 0 and/or no blogs assigned.

At least, the user you've requested a new password for is not the admin user.

Are you sure you've requested the password for the same user/login that you've been logged in the last year before?

Bingo!

I just logged in as admin and I'm back. So, you're right. I was trying to log in as my user, not my admin. Now, what in the heck did I do to my user?

Have you been logged in as "your user" before always?

no, I've always been logged in as admin. I've never used my user profile. But, when I got the log in screen, I automatically used my user login instead of admin login. I totally blanked on having to relog in as my admin.

So, puzzle solved.. ;)

:D

absolutely. I couldn't have done it without you. Thanks very much. I appreciated your help immensely.
