Admin accoiunt

The admin log in no longer accepts my log in information. I have another account in which I have made an admin account but I can not get into the admin panel from there either.

a couple of things here. you can try to clear your browsers cache, and clear the cache on the machine.

you can also send out for a lost password, and have it emailed to you via the front end, not the /administrator path, but from the front end where an end-user would login.

alternatively, if you need to reset your admin account, there is a method for that as well

you can try to create a new user, and then on phpmyadmin set the role of that new user to 3 which is admin level, and see if you are able to get into the admin panel from that route?

Acknowledgement to Deano, whom is where i think this came from originally:

UPDATE `Profiles` SET `Salt` = CONV(FLOOR(RAND()*99999999999999), 10, 36) WHERE `ID`='1';

UPDATE `Profiles` SET `Password` = SHA1(CONCAT(md5('New Admin Password'), `Salt`)) WHERE `ID`='1';

you can change the WHERE 'ID'= from the 1 to any UserID that you want to run this statement against.
