hi

I've just lost my admin pw, my 2 users lost theirs too  ;D
I type in my email address but the mail wont arrive.
Looked at the php files but cant find where the user information is...
Which file should i edit to enter a mailserver address?
I think the missing smtp is the reason why it cant send me my reset-pw mail...
I dont think i can retrieve my pw from the files even i find it the pw is encrypted. Or dunno.. ???

phpmyadmin:
-select the cpg db
-browse the coppermine users table
-the admin is usually the first user (id 1), click the edit button
-you'll see a cryptic user_password and before a dropdown box, set the dropdown to MD5 (if the password is plain text, then do not change the dropdown)
-enter a new password
It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.
