Struggling to Reset Password

  • I'm trying to access the admin of a site I created quite a long time ago to give it some updates.


    However, I'm struggling to login. Either I've forgotten my username or password, or something has happened to cause an issue.


    Either way, I am struggling to reset my password. When I click reset password and enter my email nothing happens. I don't receive anything and I've check my spam. I've tried all the possible email addresses I can think of.


    My client can login with their account but they have limited access so it's not like I can even create a new admin account for myself.


    What should I do next? Any help would be much appreciated.


    These are the most recent entries to the error_log file if that helps...

    Approved the thread.
  • I would go in and manually reset the password on the primary admin user so you can log in.


    When you get access, go to the perch3_users table and set the password on the primary user account to the following. That will let you log in using a password of password. Once you're in, change your password.
