problem logging in

[msoo]

I'm using the RC2 with all patches. I can create a user and password in the misc. setting. However, when I log out, I can't EVER log back in. I know the user and password has been created in the ee_admin table as I can query and see it but it uses MD5 checksum to encode it, so I can't see if the password is correct.

Anyhow, after I hack the php code to log back in, I can ONLY change the password if I leave the "Old password" empty, everytime.

What can I do? I can't even shut down the password protection now...

Perhaps you have a cookie firewall?

Do you use any special characters like ' " \ in password?

PM me address to your editor and I'll take a look how it goes. But place original code there for testing purposes - I can not debug altered source code.

The hack I did to allow me to log back in is to change the php to not use MD5 and use the exact password stored in ee_admin (long string of garbles). That worked. My password does not have any special characters, only chars and numbers.

What do you mean by "PM me address to my editor"? I'm a bit slow today... Do you mean the URL to the input directory?

Yep, I mean URL to input dir and current username/pass. Also I would need ftp info to place new fixes there if needed. PM means clicking the PM button below this message
:wink:

This problem was resolved.

Because misc. settings password change editor does not give any feedback on errors it is easy to mistype or fill wrong data there. I'll make some better feedback messages on next version.
