What do you do when you lose your Admin password to your site? I thought I had correct password but the website will not log me in under the one I'm using.
Well since you posted this in the Personal Site Starter kit I guess it's the one from webMatrix templates. That kit uses SQL Server CE with Asp.net membership best way to do it is open the database go to users table and delete the row, also delete it from
the webpages_membership table as well. Then re-register.

since you have access to the site, you can go into the WSAT and delete the admin and then re-add it w/ a new password

also if you have password recovery, you can try this:

Hi Rae,
It all depends on the types of sites/service you are running. Most of the sites will provide a password retrieval process.
However, if you do forget the password of your email, that will be a BIG problem! :P
