Hello Team:

I have been running a dot net nuke site for a few years, so it is a fairly early version, and changed the host password which
started out at dnnhost or hostdnn and now the new host password is lost.

When I asked to have it recovered and emailed all I get is "xxxxxx" for the password, which does not work.

Any suggestions on how I can successfully recover the password and login as host?

Thanks,

Richard Folden

Hi Chris.

I remember this "trick" and i was pretty close to post exactly the same words but checked beforehand in my running portal.

And here is the point which stopped me from posting it:
The host running my installation is a physical machine in my own house, so you could say that i have full access. ;-)
As i'm the host, the admin and a normal user i created these accounts with the same mail-address. Maybe a fault, but that's it now.
How to figure out which of these 3 entries is the host, as the field UserID seems to be encrypted.

I could imagine that this case, at least with HOST and ADMIN is the same, is not so seldom.....

Any idea?

Kai

another option would be using an existing known user account and enable "isSuperuser" in Users table for it.
