    Admin Passwords are hashed !
    So I will help you

    Open PhpMy Admin
    display the plogger_config table
    then check the admin_password field and display it
    Now, you will find your hashed password
    so check this field and edit it

    I give you this hashed password :
    replace the old hashed password by : 5791533f9a06d37d93a1fa57565095ba

    close your Phpmyadmin
    and login with this password : plogger

    Change the password and don't forget it ;-)

    Bilel is right, what he writes should work - here is another way to do it, that may be easier for you:


    • Open PHPAdmin in your browser


    • Click on "plogger_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

    Sorry fixed it now. I used a site to create a hashed password but after using another site i realised the original hashed password was incorrect. So i an log on fine now.

    If you look in the main forum, I have entered a question right before this one. As I follow your steps above, however, it seems to me that I have a related problem to this one. My plogg_config has two entries - presumably one from each install. In other words, when I reinstalled, I kept the original sql database.

    Perhaps this explains the problem I described in the other thread, where I get an almost-functioning web site except for no CSS formatting being applied, and no thumbnails being displayed on page?

    Maybe - certainly your database should not have duplicate entries, this could lead to all sorts of problems.

    You really should delete and recreate the database and files and start all over.
