    Default Admin Password Forced Change

    I am atm being forced to change my admin password at the 90 day point. Couple of problems; I only changed to two days ago however I am still being forced in to the change.

    When I login put in my username & current password it then sends me to Admin Login - Password Expired put in the old password then the new one. After a bit of messing around it sends me back to the login screen. I put in my username and the new password, however instead of letting me in to the admin pages it sends me back to the Admin Login - Password Expired screen. I have to, at this point put in my new password as the old one and choose another new password. Again after a bit of messing around I go back to the admin login screen. At this point the cycle starts all over again. I have done this 6/7 times before I have put this down. So atm I cannot do any admin work.

    Any ideas please.

    Just remembered; this has happened in the past and I thought it could have been the way I had installed some of the plugin's so I have removed that build and started again. Also is this in the right place for this question? Please feel free to move it if it is not. Thanks in advance.

    Did you recently change your domain even from www/non-www or enable/disable https/SSL recently?

    Personally my guess is something to do with encrypt master password... I believe the last time I worked on a site that had this installed and it was for a 1.5.3+ version, I had to do some sort of modification to the plugin so that it properly worked with the existing ZC code to handle/address this aspect but it's been a while.

    I have upload a backup copy of my site and I am in. I will have to wait until I have to reset my password to see if it was any of the plugin's I have put on the site.

    That statement is supposed to be run as a sql statement either from your admin > tools
    or from phpmyadmin

    But I cannot get in to my admin to run the script. I am going to jump to the thread from this plugin. I did not realise there was I thread for this already. My bad.
