Are you sure you're entering the correct username and password?

You can reset the admin password by following these steps:

http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php/FAQ/Login

True, that's not user friendly and I would like to see the option added to be able to reset the admin password by emailing a link to the email address listed for the admin, but that functionality is not there.

I had to reset my password the other day.  I was able to do this by logging into phpMyAdmin through my account at my host.  I don't know if your host has a similar setup or if you know how to use MySQL from the command line.

In phpMyAdmin, once you are connected to your database that CMSms uses.  Click on the SQL button at the top, on my install its between Structure and Search then run copy and paste the command from that FAQ link above (included here for reference)  As long as you have cms_ as the prefix to your tables you won't need to change anything:

Code: Select all

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

Finally press the Go button in the bottom-right corner.

Hello,

if the password reset doesn't make it :

Which CMSms version are you using ? Which admin browser are you using ? Are (cookies/sessions) requirements met ?
What is the error message ?
And "usual questions"...
