I'm in a bit of a sticky spot. I'm the administrator of an eFiction archive, but I've forgotten my password. I've tried to use the "lost password" tool, but I never receive the emails. I've tried checking All Mail and Spam and Trash and everything, but nope. Any ideas?
I'm running 3.3, if that's relevant.
Can you access your database directly? (E.g. via phpMyAdmin tool)
I will go through assuming you do have phpMyAdmin, other administrative tools won't be very different though:
- Go to table _authors, find your entry, click edit
- Last row should be password, in the pulldown select MD5, input field set your new password, hit "OK"
- Won!
If you do not have access like that, I can fix a small script for you, just let me know.
Ok, so that was the ugly quick fix, now let's get to solving the problem:
- Do others get mails, like notifications?
- Could it be you have your address typo'ed/changed from what it was before?
- Are there other scripts on this server that send mail, and if so, do they work?
That worked! Thanks so much!
