Handy if you (or a client) is locked out, here’s how to reset the admin password, posted on Redstage’s Magento Blog.
Basically, the procedure involves going into the database, finding the appropriate row that contains the password, and assigning the new password using MD5.
No “greetings readers” here, although anyone reading this is more than welcome. The purpose of this blog is to serve as a utility for me to log my thoughts related to programming. Often times when I’m working on a project, I’ll encounter an issue that I’ve encountered before. The problem is that I don’t necessarily remember the solution, and I have to go through the whole process of “figuring it out” all over again. With this blog though, I’m hoping that I can (going forward) document my issues and solutions in case I return.
What kind of programming do I do now? I’m heavily engaged in web development, predominantly the Web 2.0/AJAX practices. I work for RedStage Networks, based in Hoboken, NJ. I’m glad to be part of a highly engaged and enthusiastic team, always working with cutting edge technology.
So if anyone ever reads this, then happy reading. If not, then “memo-to-self”: tag, tag, tag, tag your posts. How will you ever find solutions if you don’t tag your posts?
