I just installed this CMS. Now, I have a problem. During the installation process, Frog CMS gave me this as admin password “121bfe8f5K”. After I CHMOD config.php, I can’t log-in using the generated password. Do you know how to find the password? I tried clicking
“Forgot Password?”, It says “User not found!”. :[ This is so frustrating, please help me.
I so love Frog CMS.

Hi there – sorry to hear you’re having trouble getting in!

I assume you have access to the database tables? If so, have a look at this thread which will, in fact, send you to yet another thread! But that should tell you how to use the raw database values to re-set the admin user account’s password.

Let us know how it goes!

flintee,

I had the EXACT same problem as you and I’ve discovered the culprit. You must have an existing database already with the same name as the one you installed (either from a previous FrogCMS install, or another CMS) You will have to uninstall the Frog CMS folders from your FTP or WWW folder and re-install the CMS. To overcome this problem, during the install you will have to create a Table Prefix (the last field on the install). Continue on with the installation and you will be able to successfully login to your ADMIN account.

Hope it helps!

Hi. I am having this problem also.

Right after I install frog I reset the permissions for the config file and then go to login but it says “Login failed. Please check your login data and try again.”

I’ve tried deleting all the files within my FTP and re-installing but this time with a table prefix but I still run into the same issue.

Unfortunately I’m not sure if I can edit the tables directly.

Any thoughts why this could be happening?

Use a clean db for your installation.

If you can access to the database then you can change the password, passwords are encrypted in sha1.

For example the sha1 encryption for ‘1234’ is 7110eda4d09e062aa5e4a390b0a572ac0d2c0220
if you put that in the password field from user table you will be able to login using 1234 as password
