Borghunter: I noticed that I accidentally typed in my password for the admin panel incorrectly and I can’t figure out how to un-hash it.
If someone could hash the password: 5686 with the phpLD algorithym that would be great, so I can use this to temporarily login.

Thank You to anyone who does this.

To do it, just create a new user in the admin panel with the password 5686 and find the hash in the SQL database.

Thank you so much to anyone.

Boby: In all versions of phpLD 3.0 the password is encrypted by default with SHA1, if it’s not available MD5 is used.

You can always hash you sha value calculator tool (search Google)

Add the string {sha1} or {md5} depending on your settings in fron of it and save to DB.
For example password test would be by default saved to your DB as SHA1:
{sha1}a94a8fe5ccb19ba61c4c0873d391e987982fbbd3
or alternatively as MD5:
{md5}098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6

Neo: Excellent help… now that I’ve figured out what my password is… what’s the trick to remember what my stinkin username was? (I have too many sites / too many usernames & passwords) Why doesn’t this have a email hotlink for forgotten passwords?

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I try to hack into my own site 😛

Krutoi125: this worked for me just now –

found the user entry in the db via phpadmin

username was listed there

replaced the hashed password with a new hashed password which i made with the tool and of course making sure it started with {sha1}

what *didn’t* work was just deleting the password – when i did this i couldn’t log in at all… replacing it is obviously the right way to do it
