May I test your memory of zenPhoto --

I have an entire gallery (7 subalbums) in zenPhoto from 2008. It was password protected. My hint didn't pass the test of time, as I forget it. The gallery, I believe, holds the only photos with descriptions that I want to port over to my new install.

Do you remember if there is somewhere in the tables that holds the password? Was hoping to find the line where I could remove the password.

Admit that when I looked at the home page, I remember the hours and hours I put into customizing it.

Delete the [i]zp_administrators[/i] table in the database and run setup. You can then set a new username and password.

That is not exactly correct. The gallery password you can set is stored in the options table. The field curently is named gallery_data. I don't remember how it was in 2008.

`gallery_data' however contains a serialized string. if you delete thte field all general gallery settings like the gallery name, description, general sort orders etc. will be gone as well. Probably does not matter if the site is not going to be used again.

And as we are at it: Album passwords are stored with each album's entry in the albums table.

Edit:
Had an old local install of ZP. The gallery password was indeed stored in its own gallery_password field within the options table.

Ah yes. Not the user password but the gallery password.
Sorry about that.
