| Okay, I've found a few solutions on here, but none of them work. I have version 8.04, working with an MS SQL database. I've tried every angle but can't for the life of me remember my darn password. I've tried to reset it, using some tips here, but none of them work. Plus, the e-mail function doesn't seem to want to turn on (and I apparently didn't switch it on before). Can anyone supply some assistance? |

Passwords are 160bit one way encrypted so can not be recovered. If you have an valid email address and enabled the email tools then you can use the forgotten password feature when loging in. If you don't have that what you will need to do is:- 1.Open the database 2. Open the table tblAuthor 3. Find Author_ID with the value of 1, this is your admin account 4. Copy and paste the following to the username field:- administrator 5. Copy and paste the following to the password field:- A85B3E67CFA695D711570FB9822C0CF82871903B 6. Copy and paste the following to the 'Salt' field:- 72964E7 Your admin username and password should now be reset to:- user: administrator pass: letmein ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |
