    Hi All,

    I have a php script that I had set up a while ago and when I went to login to the admin panel today, I realized I forgot my password. How can I reset my admin panel user/pass when I forgot it? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    The password should've been saved in the database. Try to find it in the phpmyadmin. But it might be md5 hashed already..

    Which script are you talking about? It might make things easier ;) Try if the password isn't in a config.php file, settings.php file or something else ;)

    Greetz!

    If it's in a database, but MD5ed then you can rehash a new password, and change it - thus being able to login! :)

    It would be nice to know what script it is, if it's a free script someone can look through the source code and tell you exactly what to do without needing to look at your actual filesystem.

    If this is not free script, you can also send used file such as login.php for review to check how login system works. However most of the programmer used MD5 or SHA1 for password encryption. so rehashing new password with one of the method should work.

    Thanks
