shacker Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 you need to configure your settings.inc,php, and maybe regenerate your password in bacl office. TO do this, you need to edit the employee table and change the password (is in md5, so you need to regenerate again). TO create a new md5 password, copy your cookie (is in settings.inc.php) and put here http://www.md5.cz/ and after the cookie put your passwordlike COOKIEYOURPASSWORD generate the md5 password, and paste into the employee database Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dibs223 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 e.g I have prestashop on one pc now I need to put it onto another pc so i backup the database and out it onto the second computer. When I do this I can no longer get into the BO the user name and passwords no longer work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shacker Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 i understand, you put that you cant login. ANd if cant login, is becouse the password is grong. or username not exists. For this i suggest that you rewrite your password Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibs223 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 ok thanks for that. Can you give me the process to do this please. Im not following fully how to do this. I have opened my settings.inc.php do I copy the cookie key and past it into the function md5 then copy back the output to the settings.inc.php ? if so what user name and password will it be?

dibs223 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 This cannot be the way to get it to work. I would have to change all my customers password. so this is no good! I need to fig why its not excepting user name and password when i import it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
