I've been locked out of a site I'm developing as my password is no longer accepted.

What I've done so far.

  1. Reset the password 10+ times
  2. copied password hash from database of site I know works into password hash of site I can't access
  3. generated an md5 hash and pasted in to password field
  4. reset password again via /admin.php hash changed in database,but I still can't access
  5. tried all of the above after clearing cookies
  6. tried again in 3 different browsers

There are no other registered users that I can use to login, member registration has been turned off in the CP so I can't create a new user either.

Have also checked the exp_reset_password table and all values appear to be empty.

Please advise.

Do you have a php enabled template that's publicly accessible? (Or that can be made publicly accessible?)

If so the following code on the template should log you in as whatever member_id you specify.

$member_id = 1; // Or whatever your member ID is
$this->EE =& get_instance();
$this->EE->session->create_new_session($member_id);

    If you don't have a php enabled template, you could just throw the code in a plugin, and then use the template tag on a non-php template. Commented May 2, 2013 at 0:08
  • Dave - no php enabled template. What else do I need in a plugin to make it work?
