[wp-hackers] Unable to login to wp-admin

[Vid Luther]

Sherry,
  The first thing you need to do is reset your password.. Do you have access to your mysql database?

You'll need to manually reset the password,

That should let you in, but right after this, you should download your theme, and try to set up your site on a test 3.01 site.

Your site seems to be a mix of Wordpress and phpBB. Finding the culprit is going to be fun here. You're running old versions of both software, and it's really not a good idea.
