[Solved]: Forgot Password

[alohan]

I hope this is posted in an okay section but I am having a problem. It's been about a year since I logged into my gallery account for my website and I can not seem to remember my password and I have a new email address and don't remember my old one. Is there anyway to find out my password or just create a whole new admin account? Hope someone can help me, Thanks.

Search the forums for 'lost admin password' or similar. Either set yourself a new password using phpmyadmin or use the adminpass.php script to do it for you.

I downloaded the adminpass.php but how do I use it? I tried putting it into my server under the gallery but when I tried logging in it didn't work, what do I need to do?

Go to adminpass.php in your browser and then login as admin/test

I did, it sort of worked. It said Welcome Admin and everything but once you hit Continue it goes straight back to the home page and I'm not logged in.

Nevermind I got in  , I tried using a different browser and it worked. Thank you so much for your help!

Great. Don't forget to delete adminpass.php from your server.
