I upgraded to WordPress 2.5.1 yesterday…and a bug was found today

If you have upgraded to WordPress 2.5.1, you may have discovered a bug that hit a lot of people this weekend. What happens is if you change your password, the login link you are sent doesn’t work and you end up locked out. You can reset a WP password manually, and here is a link to two updated files that fix this issue.

The fix will also be included in 2.5.2, so if you haven’t upgraded yet, I suppose you could wait for that, however there were several important security fixes in 2.5.1, so I recommend upgrading and then uploading the two updated files.
