Can't log in to edit site on localhost
Permalink
Hello,
Last week I successfully installed Concrete5 on my computer using WAMP server, and everything was working great. When I went to work on it again today, however, I found that I no longer had the Concrete dashboard where I could edit the theme. I tried to log in under index.php/login, and it will not accept any combination of possible credentials. (I tried the username/password combo for my live site, I tried the the combo for my database login that I set up when I installed Concrete using WAMP, and I tried using "admin" as the username with both of the other passwords.)
I did some research and saw that this is an issue that others have encountered as well. The suggested solution (to try to reset the password and then check the Log for the database in phpMyAdmin) does not work for me because nothing shows up in the log when I try to reset the password.
Does anyone know of any other potential solutions? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

By default concrete5 will try and dispatch the email using the servers php mailer... it's not very reliable so it's a good idea to switch the email settings over to an SMTP relay.
But first you need to regain access to the dashboard.

If your IP has been banned from too many failed attempts you can remove the wait time by clearing out the banned IP's from the database.
From the mySQL command line you would select your c5 database:
The above code should simply display the banned IP's if there is any.
You can clear them all out with the following query:
Remember to first backup the entire database before running commands on it.
What worked for me might not work for everyone.

From the mySQL command line you would select your c5 database:
show databases; use your_c5_database; SELECT * FROM UserBannedIPs;
You can clear them all out with the following query:
DELETE FROM UserBannedIPs WHERE 1;
