Hi Daniel, No i didn't consider salted hashes (I have never heard of them is the reason lol). I have now reset it to the hash as you suggested and I can now login in. THANK YOU!!! Will look further into problem as it does not accept any of my user logins that have been created by the admin site, even though I know i am using the correct username and password. I do have shell access as I am using my own computer. When I have worked out what to do I will look into your second suggestion. Thanks agin for quick response. MWAH!!! Allison
