I looked around the site and now I know it was a bad idea to mess around with the Machine Key...

Is there a way to recover it? If not then how do I log back in?



Thanks,

Will

If it's just your site that should be not too hard. if you have a bunch of users you're in trouble.

To just recover a couple passwords, you can just register a new user with a password and then go into your database and copy the password salt and password of the known user to your admin/host accounts. You will then be able to use that login to get back in.

As far as your other users, I know DNN 3.3 coming out has some new membership and password options which may help. And I think I read DNN Masters (www.dnnmasters.com) website has something where you can autoreset and notify a bunch of users with new passwords. Not sure exactly but the specialize in membership products and may have a product with a recovery solution for your members.
