Topic: Egroupware lock-out

[thyrsted]

Hi

I installed the Egroupware contrib, followed the instructions, and got it working without any problems.
I then logged in as 'admin' and created a few users, wich worked OK.

Logged in as admin i created another user, wich i tried to set up differently (other e-mail settings).
This new user also had different groups.

After logout (as admin) i tried to log in as the new user, but suddently the user/password wasn't accepted anymore.

Any attempts to log in as any user - including 'admin' - hereafter was unsuccessful.

I 'know' i haven't tampered with any settings regarding the 'admin' user, and i have been very careful not to remove 'admin' from any groups.

This i very weird.

Does any of You know of a way to reset the admin password/user/whatever so i can log in as admin ?

Any hints would be very welcome.


TIA

Hi,

Sometimes web-browsers can mess up and eGroupWare sees it as an hack attempt, so it's blocking you for 30 minutes...
Wait 30 minutes without attempting to access eGroupWare, and then it should work back as usual.

Hope it helped

Unfortunatetly , no...

It seemes that i can reproduce the behaviour , just by installing a fresh 7.1.3 and then install the Egroupware contrib, and then poking around in the admin/config menus.
 - Or by installing WebShare..

Maybe i'm fundemantally misunderstanding something 'bout the config of Egroupware, i don't know, but the fact that i'm the only one with these 'annoyances'  could indicate something like that 

But it's _very_ annoying that i can't reset the admin-password and regain access.

Did you configure egroupware to prevent setup access from anywhere execpt locally at the server. There is a setting in one of the config files that will do that, and it's easy to misinterpret it's meaning.

I'm pretty sure i haven't edited any configfiles (directly) prior to the problem.

I have - however - tried to reset the admin password by editing the header.inc.php file line 36.
(as per http://www.egroupware.org/specialpages/?page_name=knowledgebase&menuaction=phpbrain.uikb.view_article&art_id=28)

But i just says "Bad login or password" even after that... - Weird..

You can't just change the password there. You have to change it in the mysql database for egroupware. Use phpmyadmin to do that or root prompt then type mysql, but you need to know the mysql commands to use next, read the mysql online manual.
