Re: [Phpns-team] [Question #74026]: Reset Admin Password
Question #74026 on phpns changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/phpns/+question/74026 alecwh posted a new comment: If you have forgotten your admin password, and you have no other admin accounts on phpns, then you will need to reset your password manually. That means, you need to go into the database of phpns with a program like phpMyAdmin (or the mysql command line client), go into the 'users' table, and edit your admin user row in that table. You will notice that the password in the password column is a long randomized string. That's because the password is hashed, and you will need to hash your password before you replace that password. Use sha1(), which is a commonly used PHP function. After your hash it, just plug it into the password column on your admin account's row (using phpMyadmin or something). -- You received this question notification because you are a member of Phpns-team, which is an answer contact for phpns. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~phpns-team Post to : phpns-team@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~phpns-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
