Hi Evensen,
Eesh. That sounds like a royal headache. It sounds like the Swift Mailer module isn't installed on your server, but for some reason it thinks it is... most odd.
Admin and client accounts are now encrypted in the database in FT2, so you'll need to manually update them through the database. To do this, go here:
http://docs.formtools.org/encrypt.php
And enter your password. Then, via phpMyAdmin or another DB access tool, find the ft_accounts table (the table prefix may be different for your system) and locate your user account. There, update the password value with the encrypted string generated by the page above.
Having said all this, it's VERY odd that passwords no longer work. I'm wondering if maybe your hosting provider changed the way the md5() encryption routine functions... one user account password failing to work could be attributed to human error, but three sounds really fishy.
Once you've gained access again, take a look over your Swift Mailer plugin - perhaps uninstall & re-install the latest version, just to check you're up to date. Then log out and try the "forget password" page again.
Curious!
