Password reset; not receiving email confirmation

[Sanguinarius]

Help! I'd forgotten my password and entered my email address for a password reset (couldn't Zen Cart just send me my existing password???), but never received the email (yes, checked the spam folder, too). I double checked the email address.

Is there a way to retrieve the reset password from the MySQL database, or possibly just set it to what I want to use? I can't login.

No, because it's stored encrypted, and is not unencryptable. Yes, that's for your protection.

Sort of.
I just did an FAQ search for "admin password" and it brought up this article which answers your question: http://www.zen-cart.com/content.php?...rd-(i-lost-it)
