I am the admin of my XOOPS site. I attempted to login one day and it wouldn't recognize my password. I did a password recovery but still can't get it. The recovery process is broken. The second email only shows the following:

http://www.mysite.com/lostpass.php?email=me@mysite.com&code=

&code= should have a number

How do I get in..

I'm running XOOPS 2.0.7

Thanks

Hope this isnt your security site that you got locked out of... thats never good for business.

Well if you have made a backup of your site recently then you can simply overwrite... assuming that you havent done that though.

so heres what you do.

dump, fresh install.

make a back up of your user tables pretty regulary.

I make an immediate backup upon install. that way if i get locked out i can just pop up the original prfx_users.sql and be on my way. I would rather lose users that can always be re-added than have to do the whole site all over again.

good luck. hope someone has a better way :(
