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
Mark
Admin user name and password not working
Re: Admin user name and password not working
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.Myrmidon wrote:I have searched the forums and have used PHPMyAdmin to change both the User Name and Password.
