Hello,

It seem that your password is encrypted in database, which can be changed from phpMyAdmin. But I am not sure whether it would work or not whenever you do login as your system would decrypt the password store in database.

So either you place the encrypted version of your password, you want to change or change the password provided by the system.

Thanks.

I do not quite understand. You mean that I can not manually make the change while the field is set encrypted?

The application is set to encrypt the password.

try this:
In Password field type next: PASSWORD(*****) where ***** -> youre password

Yes, I've already place in the "password" field "123" as the password and my php app still will not let me in.

What is unsettling is that I had someone go into another mySQL account and change the password.


I appreciate the help you are giving me.

I re-Installed the PHP app and I still can get in. I have other php apps on the same database - they all work.


Well, it has to be another kind of problem - most likely the mySQL or a permissions issue. I will remove tables and check out the permissions settings.

Thank you both for your help

It was my tables that were bad. Deleted the tables for the particular php app. and then re-installed the app which rebuilt them - now all is well.

Thank you all for every post of help.
