YFAdmin Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 I've been using PhpAdsNew for about 10 years and upgraded to OpenAds 2.0 about 2 years ago. Last week, I changed the password to allow a webhost technician to investigate a problem after migrating to a new server (since resolved), but I have somehow managed to lock myself out! I cannot find a password recovery link? I contacted OpenX, but they were unable to provide help. Hoping someone from Revive can assist me?

Erik Geurts Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 I'm sorry, but OpenAds 2.0 does not have a password recovery feature. Do you know how to access the MySQL database that is associated with this installation? There is a table in there called x_config (with x_ being your own table name prefix). In that table there is probably just one record, and one of the fields in the record is called "admin_pw". That field contains the MD5 hash of your password. Just come up with a new (secure!) password, then use http://hash.online-convert.com/md5-generator to generate the MD5 hash of that new password and paste it into the admin_pw field. I haven't tested it myself, but this should enable you to set your password again. By the way, have you considered upgrading to Revive Adserver 3.0.x? With OpenAds 2.0, you are about a decade behind... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
