 I'm not able to log into my Admin acct. When I try to login, I receive a message that says, "login failed. Please, try again". This all happened when I tried to restore the database from a backup. I'm not able to access any of my backups through cpanel. I checked the header.php file, and the password is showing as the correct one. Is there anyplace else I should be checking? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks, |
Yeah, cpanel is easy as you stated, but it's the admin pw that I need to change. If you figure that one out, it would be much appreciated if you pass that along. Thanks! |
Hey Mydatery,
I'll give it a try.. I appreciate your time and quick responses. I hope you have a great holiday!
Thanks |
You can also use this to find the password of the Admin Panel in case it's been changed.
/home/yoursite.com/public_html/inc/header.inc.php
$db['host'] = 'localhost'; $db['sock'] = ''; $db['port'] = ''; $db['user'] = '****_****'; <=Your login will be before the _ (underscore) $db['passwd'] = '**********'; <=Your Password will be right here. In between the quotes. $db['db'] = 'Yoursite_dolphin';
This is around Line 84 to Line 89 (Line Numbers are approximate, but $db['host'] = Is the first line your looking for, and it's in that group.
Hey Boonex, this is a potential security risk with this file rw/rw/rw across the board. Is there a way we can secure it better? Sorry mydatery but your wrong lad, this is the database username and password...not related to your admin password at all. As for 777 security risks...these are universal on apache read here For a quick admin fix: Goto phpmyadmin find the table Admins click the browse image check the box for password click the edit (pen image) enter new password which is a Md5 string... so you'l need to turn into the correct format first, u can use this site to do so its an md5 generator http://www.trilug.org/~jeremy/md5.php enter the new string press go and try logging in. hope that helps |
