Cannot login

[gprit]

I have a site which has been offline for some time as I have been moving house.

Today i tried logging in to ADMIN to put back online......it said the password was over 90 days old but it would not accept ANY password I put in (letters and numbers only).
There was no 'reset password ' button....and I read that sometimes this happens if one includes the www.
So I left that out and got a panel that DID say 'reset password'.

However...I then got a message saying:
"Notice: Email Error: SMTP connect() failed. https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMail...roubleshooting
in /home/u265591456/domains/vintagemagazines.eu/public_html/includes/functions/functions_email.php on line 387

Now I am not that technical so was apprehensive about investigating. I suspect the issue is that the hosting SMTP in ADMin is with a previous hosting company.
How can I get around this and log in to ADMIN?

V 1.5.6

Thanks for that - I will give this a try next few days..>!

Just starting to look.....seems there are two databases...how do I know which one?

[gprit]

What do I need to change to reflect the DB name?

[keneso]

You can see the database name in your includes/configure.php file.

You can see the database name in your includes/configure.php file.

I read there..
************ NOTE: This file is VERY similar to, but DIFFERENT from the "admin" version of configure.php. ***********/
/*************** The 2 files should be kept separate and not used to overwrite each other. ***********/

...so...should this be the configure.php in the ADMIN/Includes folder?

[Shop Suey]

one config.php is inside your includes/ folder
Another one is inside your <admin>/includes/ folder

Both files need to be configured properly.

yes....configured properly...but do both need the suggested SQL run for what is an ADMIN login issue......or just the ADMIN config?

[Shop Suey]

both files show the identical database, right?

If yes, this is your database to work with.
