Please How? Reset the admin username and password

For the second time they got into our guestbook and entered a lot of posts, much of it porn. But this time they managed to change my username/password so that I couldn't get in and fix it. I am running version 2.3.1 I tried using the reset.zip. It did not work, when I run it, I am asked to enter my password. Then it tells me "Invalid password" What now?

www.carbonize.co.uk/reset.zip as mentioned in the sticky thread.

I went to www.carbonize.co.uk/reset.zip and downloaded the file. Then I carefully followed your instruction in the readme.txt file. When I ran it, and entered the same password that I had entered in the reset.php file, I got the "Invalid password." And I tried it several times and also double checked that I had followed your instructions.

which password did you enter?

If you didn't edit the reset.php file then the username and password should of reset to the defaults of test and 123 respectively

In reset.php, you enter a username and password. I used that password.

Charles

yes just make sure you read the isntructions carefully for the reset.php method

In reset.php, you enter a username and password. I used that password.

I THINK you did it wrong then. read the instructions, you are not supposed to use that passowrd at this stage

Thanks, that solved the problem
