How to get by captcha

[Jack_mcs]

I just did a new install. I used the wrong login for admin and the page reloaded with a captcha error (see attached). How do I get logged in?

Just turn off Google recaptcha by running this SQL:

UPDATE configuration SET configuration_value = 'False' WHERE configuration_key = 'PREFERRED_USE_RECAPTCHA'

Or by adding this line in the admin/includes/local/configure.php:

define('PREFERRED_USE_RECAPTCHA', 'false');

Thanks, that worked. But do you have a fix for the cause of the failure? Many shop owners won't know how, or feel comfortable with, executing a database command.

You are right. We will turn off this flag in the next update.
