Lost admin password
 Top

  • Hi, moving to another hosting company was quite a job, but for some reason my password as admin is lost.

    Is there a way to or create a new admin password or to reset it ?

    I have looked in the DB, but the password is scrambled, can't make anything of it. Can I create a new admin or change admin permissions when i add a new user to it and change this user to admin privileges somewhere in the DB ?

    The website is useless now,,its very static now icon_evil

    Helppppppp

    Thanks
  • edit the row in the nuke_users table, type a new plaintext password in the box and select MD5 from the drop down functions list (if using phpMyAdmin)
