I recently set up a DNN site (version 4.9.5 as one of my key modules required this version).  I recently went to log in as Host and the error I'm getting is "Login Failed, remember that Passwords are case sensitive."

Now, I haven't changed the password so I'm not sure what's up - could the site have been compromised?  Fortunately, I still have super user access to the database and the web host site If so, I am wondering, is there a way to reset my Host password through the database &/or site file system?

Really need some help!

Thanks, Jeff.

most likely, machine key in your web.config has been altered, if you have a backup of the file, restore the original value. otherwise you may follow this method: http://www.deutschnetnuke.de/tabid/183/Default.aspx
