How to Recover Admin Access and Password from Digital Ocean WordPress Install
What happened: I thought I had saved my admin user and password safely in my password manager. Two weeks later after installing a WP instance, I realized I had not.

HOW TO CLICK AN ITEM IN A SUBMENU (UL) LIST USING PYTHON, SELENIUM
I spent literally 3 days trying to simply click a logout link with Selenium. I searched every stackoverflow post I could find until I found this one.
