Re: Can't log into admin

in phpMyAdmin, click on the "SQL" tab, and enter this statement and click "Go":
Code:

update configuration set configuration_value=0 where configuration_key = 'ADMIN_DEMO';

Re: Can't log into admin

Many thanks..... Ive seen this post before but I cannot locate phpmyadmin anywhere in the admin side or the cpanel side, Ive tried php chat, I dont seem to have a seperate icon to click onto as you describe, I have found phpadmin in file manager etc but I dont think thats the same is it.

Could you guide me where it is.:thumbsup:

Thanks for you quick reply...

Re: Can't log into admin

I dont understand this. Could you be a lot more specific:blush: . I have not idea what you are saying, you must be a really brainy person to know all this stuff, because my head is in overload. I have to admit now I am getting a bit dispondant with all the changes you have to make to get things to work, I was told I didnt need to do any of this. I have only a couple of demo products online at the mo, if you wish (please, pretty please) you could look at my admin etc I will give you the pass word that I was given so you can have alook around.... so you can see what is wrong, I'll pay you for your time as long as it isnt to much:P Thank you kindly so far for you help

Your hosting company is responsible for your phpMyAdmin configuration. You need to talk to them if you're getting errors trying to use phpMyAdmin.

Re: Can't log into admin

HEEE..EEE..EEELP
when i was following the security recommendations made a mistake and cant login. first ive changed the admin directory name and it works when i tried it. then i wanted to change my password and there all begins /i blame that moment doing that/. i tried to use case sensitive admin name and alfa- numeric password to it. after loggin off i cant login again.
then i did what forum says, in phpmyadmin i copied-pasted those codes in 2 steps but still cant login.
is the admin name case-sensitive or not? do i miss something there, maybe check-uncheck boxes...
now im really suffering about loss of my works
please help

Re: Can't log into admin

Hi,

I see you have contributed really well in the forum and was hoping you could offer some advice for me please. I can't log into Admin:

I've tried resubmitting my pwd but its not send ing to my email address?

I checked the password via PHPMYAdmin in the admin_table and it had a whole lot of numbers like a76565363638282877823872378:90. replaced this entire string including the ":90" with my password. I then tried accessing Admin with the new details but still no dice

Any ideas?
