Switched servers and having login problems

[hussew]

Uploaded most recent database, transferred all files now I'm having problems logging in to the back office

So i followed these directions I found on an older thread

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.”

Does step 4 require me to wait 360 minutes before it works? because i am no longer getting the message “employee does not exist or bad password” but its not logging me in -just returning me to a blank login page?????? BTW I am using godaddy’s preview DNS... Any insight would be greatly appreciated

You do not have to wait if you changed the password manually.

FWIW, I had similar problems, and this fixed it up for me immediately. Thank you.
