Hi,

Am trying to reset admin pass, can anyone tell me if doing something like:
INSERT INTO `xoops_users` (`Rows`, `pass`) VALUES
(1, 'admin_pass_goes_here');

Should help or not..?

Many thanks!

Aharon

No, that won't work for several reasons.
Register yourself again as user.
Copy in phpMyAdmin the password field (it's encoded) from this user to the one of uid 1.
Login as admin with the password used in the registration.

Admin password is stored as MD5 of the password so you need to run query like

update `xoops_users` set pass=MD5('admin_pass_goes_here') were uname = 'admin';

update `xoops_users` set pass=MD5('admin_pass_goes_here') were uname = 'admin';
