I recently had to recreate a DNN site (4.05.05 - I have been meaning to upgrade for a bit, but it ain't broke...) as the server at ISP crashed horribly (they lost all web files, though kept SQL DB).  As no new files had been uploaded / modules installed I only had a file copy of the site from several months ago, but the previous days SQL Server backup.

Because of problems with the database restore, I had to create a new user account on the database, the old one wouldn;t work.

I updated web.config with teh new db userid & pwd.  Most of the site works OK, however some modules (FAQs, Forum, Messages and a Datasprings FormRegistration module) don;t work, as they are trying to log in with the old username.  I presume therefore that this is stored somewhere else for specific modules?

How do I change username / password for the whole system?

(I did a search and there may be previous posts, but my searching failed to uncover them)

Thanks

Chris

The SQL Connection is specified twice in your web.config.  Once in the connectionStrings section and once in the appSettings section, be sure that you changed the one in the appSettings section as well!
