So after having upgraded and used Zen Photo 1.1.3 (thanks btw, great work!)
I decided to add some pictures but seem to have forgotten my password.
Back in the day I could just log in to my site and edit the config file,
but since the password is no longer in that file and the email password doesn't seem to do much for me,
do any of you have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Delrinian
First, version 1.1.4 is out, so you should upgarde (again.)
You can go to the database and delete the record in the Options table and delete the records with the names adminpass and adminuser.
What happens with the email password reset? Do you have your correct e-mail saved in the options? You should get an email with a link that allows you to reset the password.
Thanks for the quick response!
Not sure why the email part did not work,
after blanking out the adminpass field in the Options table
I was able to log in with just the user name and no password.
Right after that a screen came up with my
username, name, email address and two fields to confirm a new password.
The email address was correct, though I never received the mail (gmail account) after clicking the link a few times.
Will be upgrading to 1.1.4!
Found out why the email portion of the password recovery did not seem to work.
It was a user error in combination with a Gmail spam filter.
The reset email was sent, just tagged as spam and the user forgot the obvious of checking that folder for lost mail.
Thanks again for such a great product!
Keep it up.
I was running ZenPhoto on a local development server and lost my password, somehow. I couldn't get the email option to work, because I am not running an email server. I didn't see the above values in the 'options' table...so I edited the zp-core\auth_zp.php file (~@ line 140) and had it
echo $msg;
...the $msg being the email that was formed to send out. When echoed, I was able to cut and paste the link in the browser, allowing me to reset my password.
Next time I'm going to remember my password!
