Can't login to Admin

[akbeech]

I can't get into admin. I ran the sql from an earlier thread and it recreated the admin table with the username Admin etc... But, when I try and log in with Admin / admin it tells me that I'm using the wrong user / pass. I checked the fields and they are correct as per the earlier thread with email admin@localhost and username Admin, so I know the sql worked. Now I'm really stuck. I know it's n not a db problem because the front end of the cart is working perfectly. What do I do now?

BTW, if I try and resend the pass to admin@localhost it also tells me I'm using the wrong email address.

Seems I ran into the php 5.2 update bug.
This fixed it (from another thread):

edit /includes/functions/sessions.php
Code:

function _sess_write($key, $val) {
global $db;

change to:
Code:

function _sess_write($key, $val) {
// The following is only to work around a PHP 5.2.0 bug:
//global $db;
$db = new queryFactory();
$db->connect(DB_SERVER, DB_SERVER_USERNAME, DB_SERVER_PASSWORD, DB_DATABASE, USE_PCONNECT, false);

Option (b) may or may not be "complete", and has only had preliminary testing. The best fix will be to have PHP fix their bug, of course.
