MD5 hash calculator
I recently ran into a problem wherein the content management system I use for this site (WordPress) trashed the admin password. As that meant that I couldn’t log into my own site, I was faced with a bit of a dilemma. WordPress uses MD5 Hashes to secure user passwords in the database, so editing the password in the database directly isn’t an option as the string appears to be gibberish to humans. As the admin user has unique abilities, I really need the ability to login. A bit of a quandary, yes? Yes.
Luckily someone posted a link to the MD5 hash calculator on the WordPress Support forum. This tool let me encode a new password for the admin user, which I could then insert directly into the database, over-writing the problematic password.
Pictorialis II
Pictorialis looks to be a promising replacement of Gallery for my site as it integrates with WordPress and doesn’t require the use of tables in the layout. Link found via Weblog Tools Collection‘s article
