 Topic: Password is right, but i can’t login
Posted: 02 December 2004 at 9:33am |
I'm the webmaster/administrator and someone from my forum
have lost his password, so I decided to test the, "Have you forgotten your password" ( under login)
And now i can't login myself. It's the right password, but now it
dosen't work. I have deleted the cookie, but it still don't work.
Can anyone help?
Take care

As passwords are 160 bit one way encrypted, they can not be recovered.
This means that the forgotten password feature needs to create you a new password.
When you use the feature a new password will be emailed to the email address in your profile.
If for some reason you do not get the email your only solution is to
log in as the admin and change the password for the user by editing
that users profile.

I'm not really sure what to use, but right now it's:
CDONTS (NT4/win2k)
Take care.

if you can its best to use CDOSYS , as CDONTS is on web servers but not really used that much, it doesn't come with Win2k3.
CDOSYS also handles URL's better

depending on your server you may be able to have localhost, is your mail server on the same server as the web site?
also you can contect your host as you may need their mail server or you may be able to use your own. depends on the server
