It was one of those days...
Typed in the password and swore I'd remember it!
But it got a typo in it and this post saved me...
To reset the admin password of a Umbraco website.
- In SQL server, run the following script on the database:
USE INSERT-YOUR-DATABASE-NAME-HERE
GO
UPDATE umbracoUser set userdisabled=0, userLogin='admin', userPassword='default' where id=0
- In your
web.config
file, find the "UsersMembershipProvider" section, and change the setting:
passwordFormat="Hashed"
to
passwordFormat="Clear"
You should now be able to log in using the Username: admin
and the Password: default
.
