Hi all,
Ok, I goofed up. I lost my admin password and was trying to retrieve it by email. But I get an error saying "The email could not be sent. Your host may have disabled the mail() function." How can I get around this?

Details:
site: chandu.vndv.com (Zymic free account).
WP version 2.6

Attached a screenshot...is there a way this "Mail()" service can be started? huh.gif

you can use phpminiadmin/phpmyadmin to view the database and the password should be stored somewhere in there

Thanks guys! There was some MD5 encryption to deal with, but I was able to get it working again.

For reference, here's a link to the video that explains it for anyone who has this problem:

This isn't my video, I just found it while searching for a solution.
