Admin Password Forced Change

[adb34]

..... so what was restored? Database or files? ......

Just the files. The file were uploaded to a new folder so the suspect files are still on the server just not being used. You mention backup was collected before restoration, Please could you explain this bit.

No. I am going to wait until the forced password change to see if uploading my backup has done the trick. If not I will run the sql then, ok?

So, going to wait possibly 89 days or perhaps do you want to force the password change? Does this mean that at the moment all else is well and good? You can login to your admin? You don't have error logs being generated on a regular basis?

Just the files. The file were uploaded to a new folder so the suspect files are still on the server just not being used. You mention backup was collected before restoration, Please could you explain this bit.

Well, this action somewhat confuses me. "Backup was collected before restoration": when refering to restoration of files that is to mean to return to a previous state. Backup is to make a copy of existing information, and overall what I was getting at is to have/obtain a backup of the suspected problem files (or database if that too wasbeing restored) so that a proper comparison could be made between what worked and what didn't. Now though, the above says that the files were uploaded to a new folder leaving the "trouble" files intact? Sorry, but to minimize confusion need this one explained as well as how such an alternate folder is/was incorporated, what preventive action was taken to ensure further functionality, etc.... Too many possible scenarios fall out in my mind to document all possibilities.
