This post applies to you IF:
1) You can’t see animated gif’s animations, that is they are broken.
2) You are using Firefox
3) You have already tried the fix mentioned here.
4) You have “web-developers” toolbar/plugin installed.

I found out:
Web-developers has many many many options, many many sub-menus, one of the sub-menu’s is called “Images” which hosts all options related with images. So one of the options in this menu is called “Disable Images”, which has sub-options like “All images”, “External Site Images”, and “Image Animations” well that’s our answer..

See if “Image Animations” is checked, if it is, uncheck it and then check if your animations are working now

I will post more fixes as I found them let me know if this helps anyone.

I found this PakBlogger.Com post on How To Reset Wordpress Admin Password Via phpMyAdmin. It was shared by Awais Naseer of The Gadgets — one of the very few people who I found interesting enough to stalk using my PC & twitter account. I thought I should post my comments there but then I realized I could use my own blog to post a correction. Why? Oh well for obvious reasons that you all have guessed by now

It’s a very good post, but there is one thing that can be changed to make it even more simple (it reduces one complete step AND a tab) okay let me quote that part first:

Now open a new tab in your browser and go to MD5 hash and write a password and encrypt that to MD5 hash.

Step 5: Now copy this encrypted form and in phpMyAdmin check the box beside your username and click on the pencil icon to edit the entry and replace the password with newly generated md5hash password that you copied.

Click on Go to save the changes and you new password is set.

Okay now please check the two images I have posted below (click to magnify):

If you follow that step you won’t have to go to any other site to encrypt your password.. There is no problem with using 3rd party site for that but why use something when you really don’t have too?

My Preferred Way to Reset WP Admin Password:

Well this was for people who have access to phpMyAdmin, what if you don’t have access to phpMyAdmin? What if your access is limited to just FTP? I had that problem recently when I was trying to setup a blog at DaCoolSite.Com, a site that I created to raise funds for my awareness campaign “Thalassemia Free Pakistan“.

Well here is the solution for them:

Step 1: (Screenshot)
Download this file “Wordpress: Reset Admin Password Script“, Extract & Upload it in your Wordpress directory (it must share the same folder with wp-config.php).

Step 2): (Screenshot)
Open it in your browser (ex: http://yoursite.com/wordpress/reset_pass.php)

Step 3): (Screenshot)
Click on your Username, enter a new password and click submit, your password is updated. You can login with your new password now.

Step 4): (Screenshot)
For security reasons it is advised to either delete OR rename reset_pass.php on your server.

It can’t get simpler than that, no?
