Can't upgrade db: Admin Password Required- but won't accept my password

[laurelsstitchery]

I had the same issue, in class.zcPassword.php the DIR_WS_CLASSES that is supposed to be "includes/classes" has turned into "../includes/classes/" therefore the path is no longer valid, see the error log

"C:/Web/../includes/classes/vendors/password_compat-master/lib/password.php"

note the "../" is causing the problem

Below is just a quick fix to get it through, in "includes/classes/class.zcPassword.php" change the following

require_once (DIR_FS_CATALOG . "includes/classes/" . 'vendors/password_compat-master/lib/password.php');
// require_once (DIR_FS_CATALOG . DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'vendors/password_compat-master/lib/password.php');

Hope this helps.

I hate to beat this dead horse a little more, but is this the official solution for the problem? I've tried a few more times and keep getting the same file-not-found error. I just don't want to break something else by using this workaround. :)
