no access to concrete 5 after password loss
Permalink
Working on my website I got the panel asking me to sign in. Saved User name and Password combination didn't work out. I don't know why. I had noted two password, one to enter my site and the other I gave in when I created my data base user in phpMyAdmin. I'm on localhost with MAMP, concrete5.8.0 and phpMyAdmin v4.8.5, so I don't get the mail to reset the password in the concrete5 sign in panel. I tried to create new user with same User name and password on phpMyAdmin but nothing works. I'm pretty new so the advise I saw on the forum are not in my reach! At least yet :)
Please help.
Please help.
Hi John, thank you for your help! As I'm new I'm pretty lost. Need more detaild explanations, sorry.
How can I see the log? Couldn't find in phpMyAdmin.
When I created the Concrete5 data base with phpMyAdmin, I created Tigroun as user name .
Is that the user I shall use to access my website as admin?
When I installed Concrete5 I used GlidePro as Project Name, my e-mail address and there was a password to fill in twice in the upper part of the Concrete5 installation screen.
In the lower part (Database part) I put a different password for MySQL password.
So which user name and password shall I use to access my site as admin? Tigroun and MySQL password?
Cheers.

Only the usual Sign up page is coming up.
after editing and changed the authorisation password "mypassword" with an other password I have copied the downloaded file c5-su-recovery.php in my c5server: MAMP/htdocs/c5/application/bootstrap
I have added the code: require_once __DIR__ . '/c5-su-recovery.php';
as requested at the beginning second line after <?php (have tried before that code too) in the app.php file located in the same directory.
have launched different page of my website and get either the homepage or the standard C5 sign in page but never any possibility possibility to reset the login/password.
Did I miss something?
Cheers.

Hello,
the 4 steps to follow are the ones described here:https://github.com/mnakalay/Concrete5-Super-User-recovery#how-to-use...
So to summarize:
1- add the file to your server inside application/bootstrap
2- modify the file to set a safety password. This is not your C5 account password. It is a safety password to prevent others from using this tool. Say it is "someHardToGuessPassword"
Make sure you did keep the quotation marks " " around the password
So you'll have
3- modify application/bootstrap/app.php to include the file
4- visit your website using your website's address followed by ?p=someHardToGuessPassword (without any quotation marks) so something like
Did you follow these 4 steps?
It looks as though you might be missing the last step, adding the password at the end of the URL when visiting your site.
Or maybe you didn't modify the password in step 3? Keeping the default password will not work you have to set your own
If you're confident you did and it's still not working, feel free to shoot me a private message with your FTP access detail if you want me to check it for you.

Ok!!!!!!!!!
Worked out now.
I didn't understand that I had to put my Safety Password in the http address first, I copied the text as it was!
But when I sow you changed to comment to ?p=someHardToGuessPassword I understood my mistake!
A small comment in your explanation would have helped a very beginner like me!
Anyway awesome program you made hey. Would merit to be on the Concrete5 site.
After 3 days passed to search a solution that was the best answer!
Thanks a lot! Awesome!
Cheers.

Great to hear and thank you for saying so :)
I should probably really make a video it would make things much simpler.

Also, look at the Users table and make sure you have the correct username (defaults to 'admin')
