version 2.1.2 Password retrieval

[absdir]

Hi,

Unfortunately I've forgotten my admin user name and password. I've read through the threads, but it is basically Chinese too me. :confused:

So far, I've managed to get to phpmyadmin and pld_user, now I stumped and require some help.

Here's an image:

1. save the following as a file, fill the username, and the new password
2. upload it and call it from the browser

Just send me access to phpmyadmin and I will create a user for you.

I have also lost my password. Tried the php script it shows me a 'done' when I run it, but doesn't fix the problem??

[David]

Really, you just need to go into phpmyadmin and browse the user table.
I think in the above example, your new password will be new_password

[mikejc28]

I made the suggested php file, put it in the root folder, changed the user name and password to what I wanted. Ran it now I can't log in and am getting an error on the website: Warning: Smarty error: unable to read resource: "../CORE_TEMPLATES/messages.tpl" in /home/integral/public_html/libs/smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1095

I have fixed

Ok, then just send me access to phpmyadmin and we will reset your password for you sometime later today.

[mikejc28]

Thanks for the quick responses.
I have fixed it all myself.
BTW I am new to the software.
Very impressed, you did an awesome job.

[David]

Thanks a lot, and glad you got it solved. :)

I am having the login problem as well. I know the name, but password is shaw1 encrypted (not really needs to be). I am currently in the hospital and do not want to use their pcs to access my DB from here. Can someone help?

[James]

pm me ftp access and yes it needs to be sha1 encrypted for varous reasons.

are you western canada I noticed the shaw1

[David]

Sounds like you are using version 3. Try searching on sha1 in the forum. You will find the answer. You (or someone) will definitely need access to phpmyadmin to reset the password.

Hi,
sorry i had email notifications off, so i didnt know we had responses on this thread !

i see some people haveing problems, and this is what the script does:

1. the username should be the Old username, to change the password,
this script does not change the username

2. type in the old username, and the NEW password, save it as change.php, and upload to root, .... where your directory script is,

call it from your browser!

thats it. lemme know if we have more problems!

NOTE: for security reasons be sure to delete this file as soon as your password is changed!
