Cant login to admin

[sarah3585]

I was in the admin fine adding a facebook like button to the homepage text when i hit the update button I got redirected to the login page, tried logining but keeps saying it is wrong (I'm pretty sure its not). Went through lost password but never recieved an email, so I'm pretty stuck at what to do.

It's odd that it just logged me out, maybe some code it didn't like?

Any help would be great!

Found a work around posted here:

1) Register yourself on your store with the password that you want to be the admin password.

2) Goto PhpMyAdmin >> Customer >> copy the password key from user ID you just registered.

3) Goto PhpMyAdmin >> Employee >> paste the copied key on the password column of your admin ID.
Ofcourse these are encrypted so you should not change anything while you copy paste.

Now, that's what you call lateral thinking. Thanks for that. It worked a charm.
