Need a little help - Might be really simple for you PHP pros... Clueless for me :)

I installed a script ..which worked fine...but now when I try and access the admin panel - the username and pass box shows up......I entered the user and pass I was provided but it seems to be wrong...how do i check if the details are correct?..can I check that in phpmyadmin ??
could there be a problem with the script?

any help ...much appreciated
Cheers

 

See if the password is in one of the config/login files or something along those lines. Alternatively go to the database and see if it's there although it might be encrypted.

 

thanks mortal...

Just tried that...but your right the pw is encrypted....
the login box just keeps popping up.... it doesn't mention incorrect details entered or any other warning..
Could something in the script e wrong?

 

if anyone can help me..pls let me know..I'll send out the script...
I can get on to msn if req...
OR
Pm me if you want me to send you the site url ..if that may help to diagnose the problem
Thanks

 

Maybe you protected the script folder with .htaccess file without knowing it. Is there an .htaccess file inside?

 

are you able to find password file?

 

I looked for a htaccess file - none there

No pass file - but when I open the details in phpmyadmin - the pass shows encrypted

 

show change your encrypted pass with new encrypted pass. Use MD5 to encrypt your new password

 

...or why not just reinstall the script?

 

i have the same problem, is there a way to get the password on the database? i checked my phpadmin but it shows so many letters (i guess that's what you called encrypted) is there a way to recover it?
