Elgg includes a password reset capability that you can reach by clicking on "Lost password" on the login box.
@Cash I tried it, but the email dont send.. I will try the phpmyadmin then T.T
thnks Dhruva & Cash
@K:
The method I posted will work regardless of anything or what anyone else might want to suggest... if you read thru that other topic post. Just goto yr elgg users entity table and zap with the values IO sent. via pm i will tell you what the clear text pswd is...
yep, i finally did it (the problem was that my email was wrong ..ouch!)
dumkopf... LOLZ ;- ) hope that PhpMyAdmin helped somewhat ;-0)
The values in password column in the database are generated by this function in engine/lib/users.php:
So it's basically a MD5 hash of the cleartext password and some per-user salt. With $user->salt from the database, it should be straightforward to compute $user->password to go to the database for a new password of choice.
@Patrick & @All
I usually have a canned UID (admin) & PWD (qwerty1234) to zap via PhpMyAdmin when ppl get into trouble ;-) works every time lolz ;-O
Mi pregunta es: estoy trabajando en mi localhost, y cuando comienzo la sesión me aparece predeterminado nombre de usuario y contraseña, como hago para sacar mi contraseña predeterminada? alguien sabe. Muchas Gracias Daniel
