Reset my password on local?

Permalink 1 user found helpful
Well, this is pretty embarrassing. I'm working on my local computer (localhost and wamp) and I can't seem to get into my backend of Concrete5. My saved password apparently is incorrect and the reset password email won't work. Is there any other way to force a password reset?

try this in phpadmin:

UPDATE  `DBNAME`.`Users` SET  `uPassword` = MD5(  'pass:salt' ) WHERE  `Users`.`uID` =1;

replace DBNAME with the db name, pass with what you want your pass to be, and salt with the salt in the /config/site.php

Sorry, this is kind of out of my comfort zone. Does this go under the SQL tab when you originally select the database?

I created the Concrete5 Emergency Administrator tool for this exact problem. You can read all about it and download this free tool athttp://www.techblessings.com/projects/concrete5-emergency-administr...

Let me know if this works or if you need any more help.
