Can't log into my Admin

After not using my Cube Cart site for about 6 months, I want to open the store again.

But I can't log in.

I'm using the last Username and Password, but it won't let me in.

And it will not email me a Pword, even though it says it's sending it.

 

Thanks for any suggestions you can offer.

If, and you haven't mentioned it, you tried logging in, and failed, five times (I think) in quick succession, then you have been "blocked" for ten minutes.

 

Due to a bug in the code, you aren't told this (but should be).

 

I have no answer for why CubeCart's password reset email did not get to you. CubeCart will always say the email was sent, regardless of its actual success.

Now that CubeCart has reset your password, but you don't know what it is, your solution is to access your database directly.

 

Using a utility such as phpMyAdmin, look in the table CubeCart_admin_users.

 

Make sure the username and email are what you think they should be.

 

In the salt column, make it blank. In the new_password column, make it 0 (zero).

 

In the password field, enter your password that has been hashed by MD5. Fortunately, phpMyAdmin has a drop-down selector that will do this for you.

 

In the table CubeCart_blocker, remove all rows.
