Can't login to admin after successful install

Help with getting the CMS CORE package up and running. This does not include 3rd party modules, PHP scripts, anything downloaded via module manager or from any external source.

Can't login to admin after successful install

Post by steve »

Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble login in to the admin section after installation. I type in username: admin and password:admin but get "Username or password incorrect"

Is there anywhere to look for the username + password?

Ant help appreciated.

I would try doing a reinstall in this case.  You COULD look in the database in the cms_users table, but since the password is encrypted, it probably won't do a lot of good.

I had the same exact problem. I re-installed (successfully) several times. All the permissions are set properly, too.

I still can't login.

Please help us!

If you search for lost admin password there is a sql query that will set the password to admin, don't know about the name but you may be able to reset it with an adjustment to the query...
