Lost Access

Post by truenorth »

I can't get into my new system because I forgot the admin name and password. Can someone tell me where it is located in the files?

Your admin username/password is not stored in a file.

You can reset the password if you use phpMyAdmin or something else and browe the "serendipity_authors" database table. Remember that the password is a MD5 hash so you can only reset it and not fetch the original password from the DB!
