Password issues

Post by danst0 »

Hi,

Somehow I have seemed to relied too much on my password keychain. So I forgot my s9y admin password. Since I can still access the database I tried to edit it directly in the s9y_authors table.

Problem: I tried MD5 and SHA1 (e.g. for the password "pass" (MD5: 1a1dc91c907325c69271ddf0c944bc72)) but I still get the error "You appear to have entered an invalid username or password"??

What am I doing wrong?

Hi!

Please search this forum for "serendipity_hash". Our hash is salted, you need to utilize the s9y API function to reset the password.

HTH,

Ahh, thanks a lot that worked...

There are just too many (wrong) hits in the forum when searching for password reset.
