Database Upgrade Not Accepting Password 1.5.3-to-1.5.4

[mc12345678]

Has anyone figured out this error: Admin Password required to proceed with upgrade more info... when upgrading from 1.5.3 to 1.5.4?
I did this https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread....05#post1266905

and get the same error.
The rest of the things you are talking about, I do not understand.
I was working of the 1.5.3 hot fix to 1.5.4

Desperately need this problem fixed - Please help!

How have you gone about the upgrade? Ie. Was the 1.5.3 database taken to another location/server where the php version is/was different than the final location? Have you tried using the password "reset" sql once the 1.5.3 database was in position to upgrade to 1.5.4? Are you using credentials that exist and work in the 1.5.3 version of the database? The fix referenced above was to support upgrading TO 1.5.3 not from it.

What "hot fix" are you referring to?
