concrete5 Beginners Guide Book - Login Failed

Permalink
Hi, I hope someone can help me as I'm getting very frustrated here. I installed everything and uninstalled and re-installed and I still can't login into concrete5 after installing it.

I am new to concrete5 so please bare with me.

I created a db in phpmyadmin with user name and password. All works fine. However, when I go to "Sign In to Edit this Site" and type the username and password it says that is wrong. I wrote down everything and it shouldn't be wrong. I checked the site.php and the username and password is right athttp://127.0.0.1/index.php/login/...

I gave the same username and password as the phpmyadmin during concrete5 installation. I tried and changed the password at site.php to be different and try to login again, but still it gives me "Invalid username or password."

I tried the "Forgot Your Password?" few times and never got an email with the instructions to reset the password.

I followed every step from the book and nothing.

Very frustrated here and I can't login, so I can't move to chapter 2.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thank you.

When you first set up concrete5 the default user account that is created just uses the username "admin". Have you tried using this username? You should have set the password for the account at the time you installed concrete.
