I have not received PM from you so all you have to do is reset the password in the DB using myphpadmin
the table you will be updating is ps_employee & the field to update is passwd which uses MD5 which you can generate below ;-)

first generate a new password using this link
http://www.adamek.biz/md5-generator.php

Next copy & paste the MD5 sample below using test as the string (only copy & paste in bold)
md5("test") = "098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6"

replace your current unknown MD5 password with your new one & then you will be able to login
hope that helps ;-)

Please anyone with this issue help Matt & the Dev-Team resolve this issue
this must be an issue which relates to certain hosts anyone on GODADDY :lol:

meanwhile have you a backup of your old settings.inc.php before upgrading if you have followed the instructions carefully you should have this backup, all you need to do as a temporary fix is replace both your COOKIE_KEY & COOKIE IV with the old values although as Matt has said this should not of changed ;)

Hello everybody
i face the same situation :
i install prestashop last version, on another PC than the mine, and then injected the saved zipped Data base, and ow i can't connect even if i typped the right login and password !

I don't know if it is a bug or if it is something that should be done in the export/import procedure that is not mentionned (in this case i a volunteer to write it down in the Wiki)

I try to change the password with md5, but it doesn't work.

I don't have my old setting-inc.php because i didn't kwown it was necessary to ave this file when exporting DB (the tutorial doesn't mention it)

As a result i should have work on my shop this week, and i can't do anything, too bad :-( I'm quite desesperate (but not hous [spam-filter]) !

Is there a solution or is the only thing to do is to wait the time i could return my old PC ???

Thank you for helping
