    • Admin Password

    Posted by David Morris posts: 12 United States
    After a few tries I got Tiki Wiki installed and running for the first time yesterday. Today, I tried to log in but the admin/admin login doesn't work. I found a users_users table and tried to manually set the hash value but that doesn't seem to work like a regular mysql password. Is there anything I can do to recover short of re-installing?

    Go to tiki_preferences table of your database.
    Search for forgotPass, if it says 'y' leave if 'n' change to 'y'.
    Go to tiki_users_users table of your database.
    Search for 'admin' in the login field and ensure your email address is there
    Go to tiki-remind_password.php page on your tiki site.
    Enter your user name and press 'send me my password'.
    Good Luck! 😀

    Thanks for the help, I found a similar tip and tried that but I don't think email is set up. I was able to create a new user Id and then add it to the Admins group. Do you know where I would enter my mail server information? I am thinking that I have to enter the mail server URL and login information somewhere.
