Serendipity Forums

Hi,

I have just tried re-logging into the Admin of my Serendipity blog after a couple of months - it won't allow me to!

I have searched the forums and have used PHPMyAdmin to change both the User Name and Password. I have even added a new author directly to the database, but it still tells me that I am entering incorrect details.

I am using 1.7.3

Any help or ideas would be gratefully accepted.

Many thanks in advance

Changing the username and in special the password via PhpMyAdmin was not a good idea, since it is stored as a salted hash. Search the forum for "fixlogin", to get a script to change your password in a valid way, if you know your username.

Timbalu - you are a star! Thank you very much for that. Seems to be working perfectly.

Really appreciate your help

Yeah! Thats a "make lazy admins happy" script.
