Unable to login

G'day

I just installed Jojo for my site, and now I can't login to the admin panel. Any ideas why?

Username should be 'admin' and password the same as you entered previously in the setup process.

If you entered your email address correctly, you should be able to use the reset password functionality.

Let me know if still stuck.

Thanks Harvey. For some reason the reminder thing wasn't working last night... maybe my brain was just fried! LOL

cheers for the help :-)

I've just tried this, and cannot login nor reset (even though the webmaster email is the default email address I have tried to reset). Looking at the user table in the database, the admin email was empty for some reason ... perhaps it is something to do with me using a custom Admin URI upon installation?

Either way, I manually inserted email address for admin user but am still geting the following message: "There was an error sending the Reset email. Please contact the webmaster for further help ..."

Is there an alternative way to setup a working admin user?

Seems odd that the above is happening, but there is another way to reset the admin account.

In PHPMyAdmin (or your database editor of choice), browse to the admin user record in the user table. Edit the record - clear the us_salt field, and clear the us_password field.

Next, add your password manually into the field - but you need to enter a SHA password. In phpMyAdmin this is easy, simply choose 'SHA1' from the dropdown next to the text field where you enter the new password and it will hash your password for you.

Also make sure the admin account hasn't been locked from too many failed login attempts (us_locked field should be set to zero).

Grab me on msn if you still can't get in (harvey@ this domain name).

That did the trick. Seems odd it happened, but thanks for helping me to sort it out.

I've got a similar problem. But nothing helps that is described above.
When I reset my password I receive a link on my email, following this link I get a new password. But when I try to log in whith this password, I get th error message 'Your username or password is incorrect'.
When I try to reset the password manually by updating the user table using SHA1, I get the same problem.

Try this : Install jojo_community plugin manually in phpMyAdmin (if you cant do it i can send you the sql file. Make sure you have the jojo_community folder in your plugins folder either in your theme or jojo base dir) then do setup. Head to domain/register and register a new user. Finally go back to phpMyAdmin and add admin membership associated to your new user ID,

This works I just tried it (I just hope I was clear enough :P)
