Admin panel - login trouble

[alex7575]

Hi everyone,
I use madesimple for my new website, the installation runs well, no problem at all.
But once i want to login into the admin panel, it does not recognize my password!!! Its works on my easyphp but not on the internet!! did i forget something? How can i change my password to get into the admin panel?
Thank you for your help,
Alex.

For future reference

Code: Select all

UPDATE cms_users SET password = '21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3' WHERE user_id = 1;

will reset the password to 'admin'.

should do the trick if you lost your passowrd (or made a typo when defining it :)

Maybe I have same problem. I installed Savusavu with no problems. I were using admin panel few days ago without problems. But today I tried to login and i can't. I insert my credentials, press submit, and everything disappears. But it must be correct, because when I use wrong, it gives me a message: "Username or password incorrect". So what i can do? I tested with IE and FF 1.5. PHP 5.1.2

Can you change $config['debug'] = false; to true in config.php and check for any errors on login?

Have you changed something in cookie management?

NB: the password is MD5

I am having the same problem with login.  Apparently, after I installed the updated version 0.13v, I was able to get online with my old password and username.  No problem.  But after I log out, it gave me an error page -I think it was a 401 error page.  I did not care at the time.  Afterwards when I attempted to return to cms admin cp, I started encountering the 401 error page.  I don't get it.  It was ok earlier.  This must be a some bug because I notice there have been a few similar complaints from other user.

I tried updating the database password as advised and entered "admin".  Not work.
I tried clearing cache.  Not work.
I double checked that my cookies are on.  They are already on.

So I am really not sure what is going on here.   Can anyone help?!?

I'm having a password problem with my site.

For some reason when I type in the correct password for admin it just takes me back to the original login screen, without a "wrong password" message. Is there something funky going on with my CMS admin?
