Hi,
I lost my Admin Data and can't Login.
How can I find it?

Thanks

Go to your database manager (phpMyAdmin?) and find table users. Using md5 cipher generate new password

Hi,
I found the admin login data in cms_users and tried to login with the username and password found there but can't login.
Then I changed the username but still can't login.
I could install CMS again but I made some changes in the css templates and don't want to lose it.

Can you explain what you mean with: "Using md5 cipher generate new password"?

Thanks
Giuseppe

Change your password in cms_users to 21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3.  Then login with the password of admin.  Change it to something else after you login.

I followed Wishy's instructions about changing the password to 21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3 but it still would not let me log in.

When I installed an earlier version on another server I had no problems whatsoever, everything worked fine. 

Any ideas what else I can do to get the login to work?

maybe not only another password, also user name is changed

Got the same problem here, only I don't know where to change the password.  I'm in myphpadmin and in the cms_users section.  When I go to change the password I have several "boxe":

FIELD says password
TYPE says VARCHAR
length/values says 40
attributes is blank
null says NULL
default says NULL
and extra is blank

Thanks,
Deb

Hi Deb,

Find the table callsed cms_users (which you already did). You have clicked on the pen symbol in the row for password. But insted, first click the View tab, or whatever it says in your language, in the top menu (to the far left, left of Structure).

There, in the row with your user name and a hashed password etc. click on the pen symbol to the left of the X symbol for Delete. Then you open that record in the table to edit.

In the field for the password, replace what you have with 21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3

Then when you log in, you use the password admin.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Westis, that worked - I'm in!

So, does that little trick w/that long string work for any database when you can't login?

No, Deb. That "long string" is the MD5 hash equivalent of the word "admin", which is what I think Microweb is missing.

Don't get any sneaky ideas.

The CHMOD for the folder langin the /admin folder may have be wrong.
I had the same problem and changed my CHMOD from 764 to 755 to fix it.

[Microweb]

Yes iNSiPiD,
that was the thing I was missing but thanks for helping me to Login again
