Hello,

I am running a site called crpark.net with XOOPS

Few months ago my site was hacked !! The header and the footer was changed by those hackers. I have somehow retrieved it back to its original state. I have changed my admin password then, and now when I try to login my password is not accepted. worst part is my mail from XOOPS site is also not working. I am not receiving the mails for change password. I like to change the password of my admin login through MySQL can this be done. I need immediate help

thank you,

Argha

Notably owned by the following two posts....

this faq should be helpful in creating a new password.

FAQ: How can i reset the administrator password?

if you havent seen this yet there is also the FAQ:My site has been hacked! What do I do? and some others in the forum that could be helpful.

and the site for protector is at if anyone is wondering http://xoops.peak.ne.jp/

good luck.. .

Yes you can do that easily by entering the desired password with a MD5 generator script. You can create one yourself but hey, why doing it the hard way if there are ready made solutions? The link below is an example:

MD5-generator

Fill in your desired password, submit the form and copy the retrieved MD5 hash to you password field of the users table.
