When I try to update pnael info, PHPFusion asks for an Admin password - I put the password in, but it says it's incorrect.

What does this ID refer to? I don't remember creating an "Admin" user account - I have a SuperAdmin and my normal everyday admin account, but these don't work either...

Any ideas?

The admin password is different from your login password. It has to be specified in edit profile.

When you install PHPFusion (a clean installation), it asks you for your super admin username, your password (and confirmation pass), and the admin password (and confirmation admin pass). What ever you put is the admin password.

Yep I know that...

But what I mean is - I don't have an account called "Admin"

Smith beat me. Hey, just curious - Smith, do you know where (which table) it is saved to? Is it saved to the super admin's (whose user id is 1) profile?

Of course you don't! It's just a password for admins. It's universal. If you are going to do something that needs the admin password, any admin can do it, as long as they enter in the correct admin password.

If you forgot your admin password, edit it via the edit profile page, as Smith said.

Ah, that's right. You need the current admin password to change it. :(

Super Admin

I will write a script to reset your admin password soon. It is stored in the users mysql table, you can clear it there and then enter a new one via edit profile.

You mean PREFIX_users ?

Edit: oh, ok.

@OP go to PREFIX_users and click browse. Edit your profile (id = 1). Remove the admin password hash, or use a hashing program/webpage to remake the hash. Although I'm not sure if it's double md5 hashed (I believe that was in the DEV log) or not.

Edit: I wrote an md5 hasher (it's very premature though). I made a much better one on my site.. And be careful, that md5 hasher does NOT filter quotes (that is, I have not used mysql_real_escape_string() function), so don't put it up live without securing it. The md5 hasher is here: http://php-fusion.co.uk/forum/viewthr...ost_119540

Thanks for the advice so far...

id=1 is my SuperAdmin account, so I logged in with what I believe is the correct password, and yes I got logged into my site as SuperAdmin so that confirms the password is correct.

I try and edit the panel - logged in as SuperAdmin and supply the correct password for the SuperAdmin account and I get:

Could not update Panel, Admin password is incorrect.

Help! :o

Please!

Super Admin

Yes but are you entering your Admin Password? NOT your login password.

0 replies

As I said before, the login password is not the admin password. By default in php-fusion version 7, they cannot be the same. This means that you as the Super Administrator have an extra field in edit profile that says "Admin Password." Whatever the password is set here is what you need to update panels and such.

You know, you can make both passwords the same, you'd just have to do it manually. I don't recommend it, but if you want to, here's how:

Go into phpMyAdmin, to your fusion database. Go to PREFIX_users. Edit the first account (user ID is 1). Copy your password hash and paste it in the admin password field, so both are the same password hash, and thus the same password. Save and exit.

That would be strange. Why should it be implemented do you think?

First, let me remind you I did not recommend it. Second, if he is the only admin, it wouldn't make much of a difference. Third, it would be good if he wanted to change the admin password. Why? You have to enter the current admin password in order to change the admin password in edit_profile.php

Deleting the admin password from me account worked. I'll also do the same for the superadmin account.

Thanks for the help and sorry for the confusion! :D
