Hey guys,
I'm just wondering if you all have seen this...before I re-install.
I've just installed the Replicant package and had it working just dandy until all of the sudden, I couldn't login anymore. Joomla is saying my password or user is invalid. I didn't do anything different...even using the same system. Between then and now, I've gone into PHPMyAdmin a few times and changed the encoded password using the hashed MD5 password thingee...Still to no avail. This was the only user I had in the system also. This is my last hope before I do a complete re-install- the Joomla forums weren't much help.
Thanks in advance!
So that means the site is blocked somehow.
This can have a multitude of reasons: DNS problems with your provider, firewall, antivirus, hosts file in windows, ...
Try contacting the support of your provider, that way you know if it's a problem with them or on your pc.
To help you with your original problem:
Execute the following query in phpMyAdmin:
UPDATE jos_users SET password='3d801aa532c1cec3ee82d87a99fdf63f' WHERE name='Administrator';
If you changed the username, make sure to adapt the query.
This query will set the password to temp.
