For the reinstall just backup your WP Content first. You should be able to move everything except the users table across from your existing database. Sorry about the incorrect link in the Codex. I think it must have been changed. Let us know if you figure out what was wrong and are able to get back in. Hi JJ,

Installation on Ubuntu, no e-mail configured. Changing password in phpmyadmin didn't work either. I guess a reinstall is required? The link above just goes to Main Page, am I missing something?
