osCommerce keeps saying bad login or password

I followed the instructions at

 

templatemonster.com/help/how-to-reset-admin-panel-password-in-oscommerce.html

 

but nothing changed. There were several other sites that gave duplicate instructions.

 

I tried logging out of the database before I tried to log into osCommerce again. Nothing. Still the same error. I've been doing various versions of Unix since 1985, and the web since 1996, so I'm not exactly a newbie. Oh and BTW, it's on GoDaddy.

 

I'm very fastidious about copy/paste notes of my logins/passwords, so NO I didn't type it wrong.

 

Somebody... please help this osCommerce wannabe.

Hi,

 

in the DB simply truncate the table administrators. The next time you login you are asked to enter a new admin / password. Do it, submit, then again enter the newly created admin / password and you're back in it. :rolleyes:

Godaddy has been updating their servers to newer versions of SQL and PHP. If you are running an older version of osCommerce, your site may need to be updated to be functional with the server changes. I suggest you contact Godaddy to see if your server has changed. That would explain, at least in part the issue you are having.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....

One hint said to reset the password to admin by insterting the hashed text

then go in and change the password inside osCommerce...

Yay, I'm in!!

BTW GoDaddy is running 2.3.3

Inserting the hashed text where? I am having the same problem although I am not even positive about the user name either at this point. Any suggestions?
