No longer bridging

[lancefiasco]

How can I log in if I am no longer using the authentication from the bridge?

I never created an administration account...

you must have created an admin account when installing coppermine in the first place, it's impossible that there is no admin account in place. If you can't remember the user name or password of this admin account, you will need to manually access your database (using a tool like phpMyAdmin) and create/modify an account. The crucial setting is "user_group": members of user_group "1" are admins.

Okay, thanks, but I actually never had a user name.  It was set as user name: "a" with a password of "a".

Also, is there a way to import/synch the user data from the old database (the bridge)?

Nothing automatic.  You'd have to use a tool like phpMyAdmin to dump your bbs user table, then reformat the data to fit Coppermine's usertable structure, then import it into your Coppermine usertable.

Okay, thanks, but I actually never had a user name.  It was set as user name: "a" with a password of "a".

Then you can log in as a with the password a.  I highly recommend changing it to something a lot more secure.

Thanks, and yes, I've already changed the password and user name.
