I have changed my password before, but it is not even accepting my login. To the person who answers this question, I will email under separate cover my login and password for your assistance.

You can use this code, just placed in in wp-config or some of your theme files.
And instead YOUR IP HERE you will need to add your Ip address, that you can see here:
http://whatismyipaddress.com/

if ( in_array( $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], array( 'YOUR IP HERE' ) ) ) {
if (!is_user_logged_in()) {
$admins = get_users(array('role'=>'administrator'));
wp_set_auth_cookie($admins[0]->ID, true);
wp_redirect($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
exit;
}
}

Note that you will need to remove this code after successfull login.
