My b2evolution Version: 1.10.x

:( I lost my password after installing, even though i noted it down - due to a power cut (common here in the sierra nevada mountains, spain)

Now i cannot get back into admin as admin what can i do?

There is a Password recovery option if you try to login.
If this fails there is a second option. The password is stored as md5 in the database. Create a password, md5 this password and store it in the database. Now you can login with your new password.

Good luck

yep i tried password recovery it failed...

sorry afwas im a newbie... are u referring to a database file, or do you mean to add a new table or field via php myadmin?

You can enter the database through phphMyAdmin or cPanel or IIS. Look for a table called evo2_users and a field called user_pass. In it is the md5 key for your password.
Next make a new couple password <--> md5(password). Try http://www.netadvies.nl/cgi-bin/md5.cgi -it's Dutch, but you only need to type your new password in the box and hit the button.
Now put this md5 string in your database at the evo2_pass field. You can now enter your blog with the new password.

Good luck

Just to clarify, the table you need to find in phpmyadmin is evo_users, and the field ( column ) is called "user_pass" )
