admin login failure

[Ajeh]

Look in phpMyAdmin at your table names ... do they have prefixes?

Another way to check is to look at both the:
/includes/configure.php
/admin/includes/configure.php

And see if you have a define set for the prefixes ...

I got it now....my provider gave me the correct line to input

[FONT=Verdana][FONT=Verdana] INSERT INTO zen_admin
VALUES (
'', 'Admin', '[email protected]', '351683ea4e19efe34874b501fdbf9792:9b', 1
)

the table is called zen_admin

thanks,

Yes using the prefix of zen_ you would need to adjust the fixes that are posted for this ...

Thanks for the update!

I did all this in zen_admin, but cannot access my admin section. BUT I should add that I changed the name of /admin to make it more secure by changing 'admin' to 'new' in /admin/includes/configure.php according to Http://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=73

For a database that uses prefixes on the tables such as zen_

      DROP TABLE IF EXISTS zen_admin;
CREATE TABLE zen_admin (
  admin_id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  admin_name varchar(32) NOT NULL default '',
  admin_email varchar(96) NOT NULL default '',
  admin_pass varchar(40) NOT NULL default '',
  admin_level tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '1',
  PRIMARY KEY  (admin_id),
  KEY idx_admin_name_zen (admin_name)
) TYPE=MyISAM; 

Next run this to set the login to Admin/admin:

Reset login and password to: Admin admin

      INSERT INTO zen_admin VALUES (1, 'Admin', 'admin@localhost', '351683ea4e19efe34874b501fdbf9792:9b', 1); 

Now you have 1 login for:
Admin
admin

And you can then get into the Admin and change the login, email and password in the Tools ... Admin Settings ...

Thanks for the quick reply. Here's what happend; I had reset the permissions to the renamed admin to 744; I re-set them to 755 and I got in! BUT no new PWD but the OLD one?! Can't figure that one.

I am also having the same problem. I deleted all entries in the admin table and inserted the recommended record. I still cannot log in and it does not appear to be sending a new password to the email address in the record.
