Hi,

Just took a quick look, they way you are doing it is prone to breaking pretty easily, take a look what mkly wrote to reset the admin password:https://github.com/mkly/c5_lockpick/blob/master/c5lockpick.php...

Thanks for the c5_lockpick link. I will have to peruse the code in detail and see if there are any ideas in there that could improve Concrete5 Instant Admin (CIA) while staying true its ideals.

CIA never touches any existing accounts and will only create new ones. Mostly because my most common scenario was having FTP access, working late at night and suddenly needing C5 access. Nice to have instant gratification, not have to wait for a client reply in the morning and do so in such a way that no existing accounts are modified. Everyone is happy that way.

Security is a big concern so CIA will only show you the bare minimum information needed. Mainly, your new admin account which can be either the string you specify or a variant of the string with a unique set of numbers appended to it. This way it can be run many times either on purpose or accident without harm. The password is never shown nor can it be set via a web interface. It must be set in the actual PHP file itself for safety.

Like, if a stranger were to pull up the CIA page on your site they would only gain a user name, not a password and not the ability to specify one. Phew!

Another goal of CIA is ease of use so everything needed is included inside one file PHP file. HTML, CSS, JS and even images all embedded. No external dependancies needed. Neat!

Thanks again for the link. :D
