Title: did not enter an admin password
Post by: jodyb on September 18, 2006, 08:17:12 pm

i just installed the latest version (1.87)
i am going thru the set up process and got to installing DB tables, when i clicked thru to Config Menu, it asked my for my admin pass on a login screen.  i entered the DB pass and it isn't working, but i have yet to set up the admin pass.  how do i find this info?

The sequence of events you describe are a bit strange.  ie. How did you click through to the Config page if you are just beginning the install and have not yet set up the  tables?

If you made it past setting up the tables but then had a problem or logged out and are now instructed to login and didn't set up an admin password you can login with the password "install".

i did install the tables, that was the last point i made it to.
when i clicked on config menu, i got redirected to a login page asking me for an admin pass.
i tried using install and it said incorrect pass.

The following code can be saved to a .php file, uploaded to your ListMail folder and browsed to to obtain your administrator password.

Code: [Select]

<?php// show admin password from ListMailinclude("./config.php");include("./admin.php");echo "retrieving password.. ";list($pw)=mysql_fetch_row(mysql_query("select admpw from $ctable where 1"));if($pw) echo "your password is <b>$pw</b><br>";else echo "<b>  could not read config!</b><br>";?>

You could also use PhpMyAdmin to locate the lm_config table, hit 'browse' and view the admpw field.

If you continue to have troubles I'd like to take a look (http://listmailpro.com/support?t=other) to see if it's a bug, if you don't mind.
