Upgrading Advanced Guestbook from 2.1 to 2.3.1

I tried to replace the files and update the SQL but it pretty much fried the guestbook. Is there a way to upgrade from 2.1 to the latest version or do i need to install from scratch? Thanks.

all you should have to do is import db_update_v22-23.sql and then upload all the guestbook files over your old one. Then recusomize

That's what I thought, but when I tried to go to change my settings, it takes me back to the login screen. I log in with my correct admin and password, go to change settings, and it just takes me right back again to the login screen. It's a vicious cycle.

Im having the same problem though I didnt upgrade....help! its a bleedin annoying cycle. Cant remove nasty posts

You will have to have a way to edit the mysql database manuelly, usually through phpmyadmin.
then you will just edit the admin user name.

or you can use this

copy and past it into a file called admin.sql and import it into the database through phpmyadmin and it will reset the guestbook admin to the default
user name of test and password of 123

So does that mean I have to basically scrap the old version? I have everything formatted to match my site. I guess I have to redo them right?

INSERT INTO book_auth VALUES (1, 'test', '773359240eb9a1d9', '7d8b85294e2e060b83f596a4fc5561ce', 1047400380);

I found the solution
It is better to drop all tables and to reinstall Advanced Guest book
