Help -Lost Password!

gingeman · 06-23-2006, 03:50 AM

Can anybody help me- I've lost/forgotten the admin password for the backend of one of my sites. I have full ftp access to all files- is there somewhere i might be able to find it?

my wild guess, usually on vars.php or config.php
or the mysql database.

Try to create a new user, and grant full right to this user as admin in the user table of the sql database. Or change the userid of this new user to #1. I think many program set the first user as admin on default. Good luck.

Did you contact your hosting company? They should be able to reset.
