Cant login as 'host'

Hi All,

Very strange things happened,
I cant login as HOST. I know my host password and use host account very often. But one day The DNN says 'Login Failed, remember that Passwords are case sensitive', so I tried to send password to myself and password is exactly as this - xxxxxx.

Well, I thought may be some magic happened and password has been reseted somehow. I tried this xxxxxx doesn't work.

Then I tried to copy fields Password and PasswordSalt from dbo.aspnet_Membership from admin account which is valid and works fine. But no luck on login again.

Then I tried to changed the host password using :

Declare

-- do not leave any spaces unless intended to do so.

-- Edit only between single quote characters

Set

-- Do modify any code below this line

Set

No luck again. :-(

Note: In any try when I was retrieving password using 'Forgot password' I have the the same unchanged old strange password - xxxxxx

Any Ideas?

@UserName NVarChar(255) Declare @NewPassword NVarChar(255) Declare @PasswordSalt NVarChar(128) Declare @Application NVarChar(255) -- Enter the user name and new password between '' Set @UserName = 'host' -- This is a default DNN host user @NewPassword = 'myhostpsw' -- Your new password @Application = (SELECT [ApplicationID] FROM aspnet_Users WHERE UserName=@UserName) @PasswordSalt = (SELECT PasswordSalt FROM aspnet_Membership WHERE UserID IN (SELECT UserID FROM aspnet_Users WHERE UserName=@UserName)) All other accounts works fine, no problem.
