LOCKED OUT OF MY BACK OFFICE

[June]

I have just noticed that I am not only locked out of my back office but my email has been stuffed as well. The contact emails have been changed from the ones I had on there to personal emails. This is illegal for some one to change data.

This can only be done if someone has access to your database OR admin.

The simplest way to generate a new password (for example “mypassword”) is as follows :

1/ Open /config/settings.inc.php and copy the COOKIE_KEY value, a string like :
ugVz7xCw9mYzkUWL1285CCyLb5dQOyNgnTxXDrGP0LZNBLrzKTvWyC0n

2/ Open http://www.md5.fr or http://www.md5.cz and in the field, past the copied string immediately followed (without space) by your password :
ugVz7xCw9mYzkUWL1285CCyLb5dQOyNgnTxXDrGP0LZNBLrzKTvWyC0nmypassword
Submit the form and copy the generated MD5 hash which is like :
c838e4909b92e180e6428e85c15b003d

3/ In your database, in the ps_employe table, locate the record that contains the e-mail address you want to use to connect to the BO, modify this record, and past the MD5 hash in the passwd field. Submit the form.

4/ Connect to the BO.

Please: edit you topictitle and remove the caps.
