I just did a fresh install of ZC v1.5.5e. Right after it installed and the installation gave a renamed admin, I modified the admin folder to my custom name and also removed the https (since my SSL is not yet set up) directly in my config files. I originally selected to use HTTPS but then realized I hadn't set it up yet.
Anyway, I went to the new admin page and I can see the login area. But when I try and login with the new admin it says the password or username is wrong. So... I immediately went to phpMyAdmin and the username I am entering IS CORRECT. So the issue must an incorrect password.
I had to modify the admin_e-mail directly in the admin table of user #1 in phpMyAdmin because it was orignally set up to my clients e-mail address which is not going to help me gain access. I wanted to be able to use the password reset button wtih my e-mail address. So I changed users 1 e-mail to mine and used the forget password function. Many times yet no e-mail is coming to my inbox. So next I tried to change the password directly in my database by entering this: 351683ea4e19efe34874b501fdbf9792:9b That should change the password to Admin right? Well, my username and supposedly new password of Admin also does not let me in.
This is a nightmare. My direct database changes are not sending e-mails and my manual modifications of user 1 are not working. Again I can see in phpMyAdmin my username is correct. What and the heck is going on here? Something must be blocking this from working. Don't know if this is some new reset token or security measure stopping me from gaining access. Any ideas?
