If you go to your administrators table in phpmyadmin, you will see your user name and hashed password. Copy them to a text editor - so you can put them back if need be - then delete them from the administrators table. If it works out, the next time you access your admin, it should ask you to input a new user name and password.

Can you describe what the password entry box looks like? Is it a form on an osC page or is it a pop up window?

And what happens now when you enter a username and password here?

The reset password script will let you know if you are using htaccess over the normal log in.

Check that fopen() is set to true, to test make a php.ini file and add allow_url_fopen = On; to it, uplod it to your admin folder and see if this helps.


Possibly it will not but it does cross off one of the items on the list of what it could be. Do you have any other problems with data entry?

Most likely this has to do with the fact that you get a 302 message (redirection to site without www) when going to that admin directory (name of site edited out):

curl -v http://www.yoursite.com/store/admin/
* About to connect() to www.yoursite.com port 80 (#0)

Note the redirect to the site without www prepended....

And of course it is a good idea to rename the admin directory to something less obvious and add .htaccess protection on top of that.

Jan, Can you post a specific resolution. I am getting the same error after applying the reset.php. It allows me to create administrator but then the login does not work. Thanks, Mayda

This solution by BryceJr worked for me. I seemed to have a very similar problem.
