    Hi. Ever since I upgraded, my Plogger installation has locked me out with an "Invalid Password" error code 1 message. My password is stored in my browser and I didn't change it. Neither did anybody else ? I went into my database, got the password out, decoded it, and it's correct. There is nothing wrong about my authentication information but Plogger won't let me in. Has anyone ever encountered this? I'm frustrated enough that I have begun installing another image system to take its place until I can fix it, but I love Plogger and I don't want to have to give it up forever!

    I suggest you just reset your password manually in the database. Here are some instructions I posted in another thread...

    * Open PHPAdmin in your browser
    * Click on "plog_config" in the table list
    * Click the "browse" tab at the top of the right hand frame
    * There should be one record, click the "pencil" in the first column of the record table to edit that record
    * Your password is in "admin_password" and your username is in "admin_username". Notice that your password is a MD5 hash (ex: b02a961ed8a02a25ab783e48b79865f0), it is stored that way for security reasons. In order to create a new password, you need to replace that hash with another one. PHPAdmin has a built in password hasher, so simply type your new password in plaintext (ex: "password"), and in that dropdown box in the function column, select MD5.
    * Save it, try logging into your installation again

    Same thing happened to me, only I was installing it. Tried to change the password in PHPAdmin, when that didn't work I tried to reinstall everything. Didn't work either. Not a very nice introduction to Plogger.

    Edit:
    Why can't I download previous versions of Plogger when version 3 is still in beta mode?

    Thanks, I'll try that one. Any idea what the password problem is?

    Ok, I tried installing v2. Several times, each time I get an error. Then I tried installing v3 again, the same problem happened. I checked with my server host, and the servers have PHP4 and all that shizzle, so I think Plogger is the problem. It's a shame, cause Plogger was really promising. Any idea what the problem is, or what I can try?
