Hi there,
I forgot my admin password and wonder if there is a way to reset this. I can access the database though. It looks like the password for the admin was encrypted and I overwrote it anyway. Still does not work. I created a new user but it would not work either. PLEASE HELP!!!

I have found another way to change your password if you have lost your admin password, as long as you have access to the database.
Visit
http://md5encryption.com/ and enter a password to encrypt with MD HASH
copy the hash.
Next..........
1 Log into your database (I use phpMyAdmin)
2 open cms_users in the database and edit the password field.
3 save and your done!
Alternatively, if you use command line SQL, log into your database and execute the following....
Code: Select all
UPDATE `[YOURDATABASENAME]`.`cms_users` SET `password` = '[MD5 HASH]' WHERE `cms_users`.`user_id` =1 LIMIT 1 ;
be sure to replace [YOURDATABASENAME] with your actual database name and [MD5 HASH] with the hash you just created
Once its saved, go to your login page and hey presto, you're in!!
