<p>This really stressing me out!
When trying to log back in to Craft CMS today after som time my password wouldn´t work. I have not changed it and when trying to reset the password I´m only getting: "There was a problem sending the password reset email."
Is there anyway to find out through eg. my FTP and looking at the backend what the "user/password" is set to and what my reset email is set to?
I have not changed any of this, but since I´m locked out now something must have happened..</p>

<error><admin><login><password>
Locked out of my Account, how to get back in?
