Lost phpLd Admin Password

Alright, amateur move.. All of the sudden I cant get into my admin area my phpld v2.2. They dont give you any links to recover password or anything from the login screen either.

Can someone tell me how I can change my password or find out what it is? Do I need to totally re-install phpld and if so will it delete all of my currently created categories?

Thanks for all the help

 

you can change the Admin Password of phpLd and if you missed or lost your password then you have to re install it.

 

I think phpld forum would be the best place to ask Anyways, you can check if phpld users md5 or something similar to encrypt password. If so, just use an online tool to convert a password to md5 and update your mysql table with the password. Just a suggestion. Let me know if it worked for you !!

 

Login to your website control panel, once logged in click on "MySQL" then click on "phpMyAdmin" now find "PLD_USER" and click on it, tick the password box then click on "Browse" you should now see lots of letters and numbers under password (Example: sha1 v87434e264g5bc17658a356b1c6b3g0ga) now click on edit and change the password coding to d033e22ae348aeb5660fc2140aec35850c4da997 this will change your password to "admin".

You must remember to add {sha1} before d033e22ae348aeb5660fc2140aec35850c4da997.

Now you have changed the password remember to login to your admin panel and change it again to something you can remember, to do this simply login to your admin panel, click on "profile" type in and confirm your name password.


- Enjoy.

 

Thanks I will bookmark this thread. I thought it will be md5, but sha1 is not a bad option either. I found some 'javascript' based sha1 converters if you want to set password to other values.

 

This explanation from humm will definitely work.

 

Thank you!

 

thanks it is very helpful reply by humm.

 

Good stuff. I'll know where to come when I forget mine.

 

Upload this file in binary format

1. Call it (e.g. http://www.yoursitename.com/whatever-you-named-it-when-you-uploaded-it.php
2. Enter your new password and click 'reset password'.
3. There was an issue with phpld version 2.x with the password, so it will modify the database for you to compensate and fix the issue
4. Will reset the password
5. File will delete itself afterwards
6. Display the admin and pswd

 

you may edit sql and write :md5(12345) = 827ccb0eea8a706c4c34a16891f84e7b for password 12345

 

wow, nice mod, it's really helpful.

 

Hey Juniper

You're welcome


I quoted juniper, because he mentioned MD5.

The little script also runs a check on your version of php, because if the php verison is less than 4.3.0, then MD5 will be used, as per phpld's specs. Otherwise, anything greater than 4.3.0 will use sha1. So the script will MD5 or Sha1 depending on your version of php as well
