Cannot login to admin panel after updating database backup

[bertismus]

Hi All,

 

I was wondering if your help can be requested. I did a test to see how the database backup works by setting up a prestashop site and adding 1 product to it. I did a database backup and downloaded that backup, then removed the entire shop from the root directory and removed all the databases from the server. I then reinstalled prestashop and updated the database by reinstalling the database that I downloaded.

after the database reinstall, I try to login to the admin panel and it does not recognize my username and password.

 

Does anybody know what the problem is? Your advice is much appreciated!
