Hi,
I have problems to connect to admin interface.More precisely,when I enter my connection informations,that is my login (admin) and my password,ez notifies me that a valid login and password are required,althought I used it successfully a few minutes ago.
It's the second time this problem occurs.

Please,may you explain me what happens?is there any solution to reconnect to the admin interface?If not,is there any means to use everything i do until now in a new ez site?

Thanks.

Hi Ndjientcheu,

If all else fails, try resetting the password manually in the database. This envolves selecting a new password, "MD5'ing" it using, for instance the PHP md5() function, and inserting the MD5 hash into the password_hash field of the ezuser database in the row corresponding with your user account (usually contentobject_id 14 if you're the main admin).

Sincerely,

Could be a solution if your password has changed.
I experienced such kind of problems with an unproper session expiration.
Try to delete all old session or reboot to get a new IP (if it's apply to you).
Cheers..
