Seems to me I lost it, none of my passwords work.

How I can reset it?

I opened 'users' table in SQL-Server, but it does not contain the column with it. What table may contain it? I believe it should be scripted, but if I can put it to null, that would be great.

Thanks, sorry if the question is stupid, I am just starting with DNN

Here, I found the answer, thanks for checking the message.

Create a new account and remember the password. Open the aspnet_membership table and copy the Password and PasswordSalt values from the new account row to the same columns as the host account row. Login as host with the remembered password.

There is an easier way.  Any superuser account can go to Host -> SuperUsers Accounts and manage the password of a superuser account.  So just log in as a different super user and go reset the host password that way.  If you don't already have a different superuser account, then create a new user account (or choose another existing one) and go into the users table in the database and change the superuser flag to true.

I have tried this method plus I have also created a new a/c and copied the pw & salt info...no luck

Any other ideas?

Thanks

Have you tried just going into the USERS table and setting IsSuperUser = 1 under the new account you just created?
