Forgotten Admin Password. Anyway of resetting it?

[sccsolutions]

Hello,
My client has forgotten their admin password. Is there anyway of actually resetting it without uninstalling and installing it again?

Thanks
Aaron

You can make this via the setup script.
Leave "create all db tables" unchecked and create admin account.

or direct in the sql-table phpwcms_user.
There you can replace the password with a new MD5 generated password.

with:

Code: Select all

UPDATE `phpwcms_user` SET `usr_pass`='acf977c1cfa27a463246f6963055cb11' WHERE `usr_id`=1;

you set the password of the user 1 (here usr_id 1 = webmaster) to phpwcms
After that you can change the password in your profile to a new one.

Ore have a look at the FAQ: http://faq.phpwcms-docu.de/3_16_en.html

(I will add the solution from Till. It´s the same but a little bit easier).
