Can't login to Admin

I can't get into admin. I ran the sql from an earlier thread and it recreated the admin table with the username Admin etc... But, when I try and log in with Admin / admin it tells me that I'm using the wrong user / pass. I checked the fields and they are correct as per the earlier thread with email admin@localhost and username Admin, so I know the sql worked. Now I'm really stuck. I know it's n not a db problem because the front end of the cart is working perfectly. What do I do now?

BTW, if I try and resend the pass to admin@localhost it also tells me I'm using the wrong email address.

Seems I ran into the php 5.2 update bug.
This fixed it (from another thread):

edit /includes/functions/sessions.php
Code:

function _sess_write($key, $val) {
  global $db;

change to:
Code:

function _sess_write($key, $val) {
  // The following is only to work around a PHP 5.2.0 bug:
  //global $db;
  $db = new queryFactory();
  $db->connect(DB_SERVER, DB_SERVER_USERNAME, DB_SERVER_PASSWORD, DB_DATABASE, USE_PCONNECT, false);

Option (b) may or may not be "complete", and has only had preliminary testing. The best fix will be to have PHP fix their bug, of course.

Thanks for posting the solution to the situation. I'm sure it will help others in the same boat. :yes:
