Editing a page requires a password all of a sudden

Hello,

I haven't worked on the site (nor the database, nor the server configuration) in a while.

When I now try to edit any page in the CMS, I'm asked to enter a password. Please see this screen grab: Image

I have only one CMS user and this user is an Admin with all the privileges.

Any ideas how to remove this password? All the other parts of the CMS work as usual.

Thanks.

I have never seen that before.
Did you try another browser/computer? Perhaps it is a browser hijacking...

Grtz. Rolf

Ps. Also do a file checksum, in case your files are hacked.

Post back if this was a problem due to malicious activity. Looking at that screenshot seems like there is something awful happening. I've never seen anything like in the 7yrs I've worked with CMSMS.
