SOLVED completely locked out of admin

Hi all,

I cannot login anymore. In case I forgot the password, I had even (multiple times) reset my password in phpMyAdmin.
i did the following in an attempt to get me in to no avail:
chown -R www-data:www-data .
chmod -R 775 .

maybe the changed something on the server config..blog.pilchards.co.za/pollyputthekettleon.php

i even tried rolling back to 1.4.1, but that didnt work either. I'm back to 1.5-beta2.

and i dont think that software based crontab works either.

i'm trying to see if everything is broken by editing popfetcher in myAdmin - just gotta work out which trues and falses to change from the plugin files.

btw. i do have ssh access =;o)

Hi!

How did you reset your password in phpmyadmin exactly?

i did the following:
UPDATE `domdom`.`serendipity_authors` SET `password` = MD5( 'YETanotherpass.' ) WHERE `serendipity_authors`.`authorid` =1 LIMIT 1 ;

Try clearing the password (set it to "" or mysql equivalent) and then change it from within Serendipity once you've logged in.

Hahahaha!!

I cracked the mystery!

This was the error:
`hashtype` = '1'

it should be `hashtype` = '0'

btw, what is hashtype 1?
