    You will have to change it manually in your database. Use PHPMyAdmin or another database management product from your ISP control panel. The password is stored in the field "password" within "plogger_config".

    It's not stored plaintext, so you will have to run the MD5 function on whatever plaintext password you enter. In PHPMyAdmin, just select MD5 from the function dropdown.

    Mike-I'm new to SQL and am still learning a lot. I am abroad right now and using my laptop which I do not have my plogger password stored in. Can you walk me through the steps on how to change the username and password through PHPMyAdmin? I can access the database, and I've found "plogger_config," but from there I don't know what to do. Thanks for your help.

    Ok, you're almost there just follow these steps:


    • 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

    I've been trying to retrieve a lost password using phpMyAdmin, following these directions. I keep getting this error:

    UPDATE `plogger_config` SET `admin_password` = MD5( '*****' ) ,
    `admin_email` = Array(
    ''
    ) WHERE `plogger_config`.`max_thumbnail_size` =100 AND `plogger_config`.`max_display_size` =500 AND `plogger_config`.`thumb_num` =20 AND CONVERT( `plogger_config`.`admin_username` USING utf8 ) = 'marketing' AND CONVERT( `plogger_config`.`admin_password` USING utf8 ) = '222e8720dd4bb697a6539ff27c04eda5' AND CONVERT( `plogger_config`.`admin_email` USING utf8 ) = '' AND CONVERT( `plogger_config`.`date_format` USING utf8 ) = 'n.j.Y' AND `plogger_config`.`compression` =75 AND CONVERT( `plogger_config`.`default_sortby` USING utf8 ) = '' AND CONVERT( `plogger_config`.`default_sortdir` USING utf8 ) = '' AND CONVERT( `plogger_config`.`gallery_name` USING utf8 ) = 'gcdisplays' AND `plogger_config`.`allow_dl` =0 AND `plogger_config`.`allow_comments` =1 AND `plogger_config`.`allow_print` =1 AND `plogger_config`.`truncate` =12 AND `plogger_config`.`square_thumbs` =1 AND `plogger_config`.`feed_num_entries` =15 AND `plogger_config`.`rss_thumbsize` =400 AND CONVERT( `plogger_config`.`feed_title` USING utf8 ) = 'Plogger Photo Feed' AND `plogger_config`.`use_mod_rewrite` =0 AND `plogger_config`.`comments_notify` =1 AND CONVERT( `plogger_config`.`feed_language` USING utf8 ) = 'en-us' LIMIT 1

    MySQL said: Documentation
    #1305 - FUNCTION plogger.Array does not exist

    I can't seem to work around the error. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you.
