Is there any chance you requested the details more than once? If so there could be another email on its way with new details.
It also sounds like you're on an old version of Perch - we don't send new passwords via email any more. Instead you get a secured link to enter a new password.
Hey Drew.
Yes, it is an older version. As far as I know, she’s only requested the password once. I have a sneaking suspicion that this isn’t a Perch issue as much as a hosting one.

The next thing you can try is turning on debug. This will show the reason for the failure. In your
perch/config/config.php
file, add:Then try to log in again and you should see what's going on at the bottom for the page.
Brilliant.
Here’s the error message I get back:
I think this is the crux of the issue:
The database user account doesn't appear to have permission to save to the database.
I suspect that the new password also failed to go into the database when it was created, which is why it's now not recognised.
This is something to ask the host about.
