admin password not working

@Ninos

Yes, MD5 works as a fallback but passwords which are hashed with MD5 always are always re-encrypted with the better algorithm available on first login.

Hi,

my password has mysteriously changed and I can't log in as admin anymore :-S

I have tried the mysql method mentioned above and changed the admin password to a md5 value (which I had generated here), it all went through without errors. However, I still can't log in - not with the chosen PW nor with its md5 value.

I can still log in as one of the users, but not as admin anymore.

This is strange, I am almost 100% sure I didn't change the PW.

BTW, the password recovery didn't work and I never received a mail.

What else can I try to regain admin access to my installation?

Thanks for some leads ...
Chris

Try:

Once done, try to login.

YES !!!! It worked!

So the truncate must come before the PW change - good to know.

Now if I knew how this password has changed ... but nevermind

Thx a lot, Nuxwin, you nightowl

Edit: no, it didn't work. It actually just reloaded the client I had logged in before and in my enthusiasm I didn't realise that immediately.

Another suggestion?

@technotravel

nops... The method I've given above should work. Maybe you could add my ssh key to your server and give me the URL to the panel.

I tested on your server. I cannot reproduce the problem. Thread closed.
