Admin USer & Password no loner work.

[Jaden]

Hi Zenners,

For some reason my User and Password do not work to my Zencart Admin panel any more! I tried to resend a new password but this does not help. I tried to use the old User and Admin but I still can not get in.

I tried to use the resetting via phpMyAdmin with the code given in the lost password article, but this does not help. Any answers as to what I could do?

Thanks in Advance

Using phpMyAdmin you can fix this by dropping and recreating the admin table and adding a default login and password:

      DROP TABLE IF EXISTS admin;
CREATE TABLE admin (
  admin_id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  admin_name varchar(32) NOT NULL default '',
  admin_email varchar(96) NOT NULL default '',
  admin_pass varchar(40) NOT NULL default '',
  admin_level tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '1',
  PRIMARY KEY  (admin_id),
  KEY idx_admin_name_zen (admin_name)
) TYPE=MyISAM; 

Next run this to set the login to Admin/admin:

Reset login and password to: Admin admin

      INSERT INTO admin VALUES (1, 'Admin', 'admin@localhost', '351683ea4e19efe34874b501fdbf9792:9b', 1); 

WARNING: be sure to reset the Admin login as soon as you have access for the Admin password and email address ... in Tools ... Admin Settings ...

NOTE: if using prefixes on your database table names such as:

zen_admin ... you will need to alter that fix for your specific prefix ...

I also did as above, but still can't login.
I am using 1.3.8a.
All our admin logins were working yesterday and now today it's just not working! What's the problem.

I think I'm not running the sql query right. Can you repost it with the zen_ added in. Thanks!

And got the admin to login.

do you have a prefix on your database tables? (i.e. zen_)
