Thank you Paul for the information. I discovered I don't have a folder named admin_settings/conf.xml. Do folders just disappear? I logged into th administrative area one and I didn't move, changed, or edit anything then the next day I couldn't login. Something else I noticed was I lacked a folder entitled admin_settings? The page I found my login information was located here public_html/smartway/conf/conf.xml, do I copy this page and place it in admin_settings folder?

Sorry I assumed you were on 3.0

anyway looks like your password is not encrypted it seems even 2.0 should use the encrypted passwords

you did find the right file modify the area where it says:

Code: Select all

<field type="PASSWORD" name="admin_pswd" text="Administrator password" help="http://www.webscribble.com/products/webdate/documentation/system_configuration.html#administrator_password">farm2525</field>

put in the encrypted password for test:

dGVzdA==

replace farm2525 with dGVzdA== save and upload to server

now try loging in with

user:

lynne

pw:

test

make sure you change your password again once you get in considering we have posted it here

Paul

Funny it will allow me to access the site with your encrypted password but when I change it to an unencrypted password it won't allow me to login. How did you create the encrypted word for test? I would like to do that for my new password.
