Can't log

[Anonymous]

I've upgraded to version 1.4, and now can't log into the Admin area, when tried to recover my password said that the name is not in the database...
Any help?

Thanks

watch you user name and password again. Are you running your photoblog on a unix/linux server? what version of PHP do you use?

Yes, the photoblog is running on linux (apache 1.3.33 -Unix) and the PHP version is 4.3.10
What seems wired to me is that yesterday right after upgrading i had no problems to loggin, but today does not recognize the username and says is not in the database...

Thanks

try clearing up the cookies and try to login again. if still exist I'll give you some script to set the pass but it should not be needed.

dear ramnia, I did clean the cookies and still can't log, also have tried from another computer (without cookies) with the same result.

Thanks

I'm doubtful about the upgrade. Did upgrade go without any error?

[raminia+]

use this code and save it as changepass.php

<?php
if ($_GET['passchange'] =="yes")
{
	$new_pass = 'temp';
	$new_pass = md5($new_pass );
	$update = sql_query("update ".$pixelpost_db_prefix."config set password='$new_pass' where admin='".$cfgrow['admin']."'");
	}
?>

and put it in the addon folder.
open your photoblog in a browser with address
your_photoblog_address.com/index.php?passchange=yes

it will set password as temp for you. login using this password and change it immediately.

With no errors at all, and at first I was able to loggin, now I'm still can't log into the admin area, but the rest of the blog is working fine.

raminia, I did try with the script but with no success
And now the photoblog is not working at all

Is there a way to do a new 'clean' installation but keeping the same pictures, database, etc

Thx

you mean photoblog does not show up?! if so that's not the case!
tell me what happend exactly.
Does it says wrong username/password again?

you can re install from scratch but all comments and notes will be deleted. no need to do that!

if you have a backup from v1.3 as it was recommened in v1.4 upgrade try it. then try to upgrade again.
