NEWBIE question about login. . .
Permalink
I have not maintained my website in a while. So, I have forgotten BOTH my login AND password for editing it. I have tried to receive a reminder email, but that email address is either not correct or I have also forgotten which one I used. Is there anyway of finding it out. Sorry for the lame question!
If you look in the Users table of the database, you will discover the correct email address to use in the Forgotten Password block..
Could be a bit easier than editing the Users Table..

Hey guys,
Thanks for the replies. I am not sure where this 'user table' is. I guess I should have written SUPER newbie, ha
If you mean the mysql database, I am at a loss as I cannot find anything labeled 'user' in any part of the database. There are plenty of files labeled 'forgot password' 'change pasword', etc, but there is no actual email address in any of these, just 'upassword' which I assume simply calls on some other file where that password is (no files called 'upassword' in the database etiher'.
I think I'm going to contact the server host at this point.
Thanks again for you help!

that worked. got it to work
Setup some install locally with an email address and password you know and copy over these columns to the user of your choice ("uName" and "uPassword" database columns of the "Users" table).
