Password Miseries

[hemotox]

I have two Serendipity installations.

This afternoon, I noted that I could not log on to the admin section from one computer.

I went to another computer and was able to log on.

Now I cannot log on from any computer.

It states that name and/or password are incorrect. They are unchanged.

Input/solution appreciated. Thank you.

If Serendipity tells you that your name/password is incorrect, it is incorrect.

Use phmyAdmin to browse your serendipity_authors() table. Edit your userdata row and reset the username/password field. The password field needs to contain a MD5()ed value, you can choose md5() from the phpMyAdmin dropdown in the entry creation screen. Or if that is too complex for you, insert the password "527bd5b5d689e2c32ae974c6229ff785", which means "john".
