Serendipity Forums

i tried to edit my profile, and i set it to not to send me email when comments are posted on my topic, then after apply it, my password changed to something.

is this just me?

Hi,

Please file a bug on sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=54 ... unc=browse so we can look further into this.

Thanks

maybe it's your browser autofilling the password field (that might not be visible to you)?

This happened to me too, has anyone discovered a way to prevent this? I think it has something to do with the autocomplete feature of web browsers, like the previous post suggested.

How can I reset the admin password, without deleting the entire site?

Thanks!

You can go to your phpMyAdmin and edit the serendipity_authors table. There reset the password to your new password. Make sure you select "MD5" in the dropdown next to the password field.

Ok. I feel like i should I know where to find the phpMyAdmin script, but as Serendipity is installed through my godaddy.com account, i unfortunately dont know where to find this script.

Should i FTP to my domain, and look in the serendipity folders, or is this something I would have to access through the domain hosts control panel?

Thanks,

I sadly don't know much about godaddy. phpMyAdmin is a script to administrate your MySQL database - not sure if godaddy offers something similar in their control panel.

But yes, if you have your SQL database username+password you can install phpMyAdmin quite easily.
