I locked myself out of my bridge settings.

I have my CPG bridged with SMF. I just upgraded SMF from 1.1 RC3 to 1.1.1 and I regret it :( Everything is broken, including CPG.

So I tried to get into my bridge settings. I am logged in as administrator (the bridged account from SMF) and it asks me for a username and password for the bridge settings. I know the admin password i had for the original install of CPG, but it is not working. I have tried admin and administrator as the usernames...still no luck.

on top of all of this.....im getting a count down timer to retry the login, and its now over 5,000 seconds and climbing higher and higher with each failed login attempt and its getting really annoying :( Can I shut this off somehow?!?

Is there anyway I can reset my original admin password?

Get the original password from the database, user_id 1 in the users table.

I assume its stored in the DB as a MD5 hash. Any way i can reverse the hash? I dont know anything about MD5.

Just set yourself a new password. MD5 is not reversible.

Has to be a hash. phpmyadmin has a function built in (select MD5 when you type in the password). If you use the command line interface you can use MD5('yourpassword'). For anything else generate the hash yourself. Search google for an online tool.

thanks....turns out that the hash i was going to replace it was identical......so it wasnt a wrong password, but the wrong username.

I guess it has to be "Administrator" and its case sensitive.   :-\
