Hi,

I set up my directory over a year ago and wrote the user/password in a folder I keep on each domain. I try to login under the Admin page and it keeps saying invalid. I must have written it down wrong.

I can look at the database but I only see users that have created profiles and their passwords are encrypted.

Is there a specific config file that should have this connection string with my password in it? I tried the 'email me the password' but it does not recognize my user name.

Anyway to see this information, even if I could find the user and email I could have it email me the info.

Thanks in advance.

The encryption is sha1

You can use an online encrypter for a new password that is shah1 format.

Edit your user via the phpmyadmin and enter
{sha1}encrytpedpassword

in the password field
