  admin login problem

  I cannot login to atutor using admin login ID. The default password always remain atutor123 and i did not change this. Somehow today I cannot login. I saw the table mysql (AT_admins table) and everything looks OK with password VARCHAR (40) and seen it as "encryted" My server is not configured to send out email so forgot password email won't work. How to change the password using mysql command? I don't have myPhpAdmin install on my server anyway.
  
  Running - Fedora Core
  Atutor version - 1.6.2

  Re: admin login problem

  Try this:
  
  UPDATE AT_admins SET password=SHA1('new_password') WHERE login='admin's_login_name';
  
  BTW, the password reminder feature doesn't work for admins for security reasons.

  Hi IndieRect,
  it works! you've saved me big time!...thank you.
  Anyway, can we assign normal user to be admin but with some restrictions? Can't find the feature in Atutor though....

  You're welcome.
  
  You'll need to create a separate admin acount for that user. While creating the account you'll be able to fine-tune which privileges the user will have.
  
  Have a nice 2010!
