Can no longer login to admin section..

I was working in the admin part of ZenCart last night and everything was working fine. This morning when I went to login the screen says that "You entered the wrong username or password." So, I reset my password and tried again. Still nothing. I did not update anything, or change anything last night. I was just adding some items to my store.

I found the article on the fix for PHP v5, but I dont use that version. I tried it anyway, but it still did not work. I just installed Zen less than a week ago, so I am fairly certian it is current.

Any ideas here?

CentOS v4
DirectAdmin 1.29
ZenCart 1.3.7

If you could not get into the Zen Cart admin - exactly what password did you reset?

When you go to the admin section there is a button to reset the admin pass. That is where I did it.

"Reset" is much different that "Resend"
So did you receive the email with the password?

Re: Can no longer login to admin section..

Peek at the admin table in your database via phpMyAdmin ...

Is there a record for your correct username and email address?

The admin_email and admin_pass tables no longer show anything in them.

Re: Can no longer login to admin section..

If I just run the installer again, will this completly a$$ everything up? Or does overwrite everything? I have 282 products, so this is kinda crapy.
