Password of administrator's part is changing after imp. DB

Post by manuylov » Wed Dec 24, 2008 3:44 pm

Hello, friends =)
Such problem occured. I am learning joomla with video courses from lynda.com
There some folers with files, which I am to use during learning (includimg database files).

When I import database to phpmyadmin, somehow password of administrator's part of joomla is changing, so I cannot login.

There is a folder in database then, "jos_users", that contains username "admin" and long password, that doesn't work as well, when I am trying to login.

Do you have some experience with it?
Where could new password be stored?

Thank you and Merry X-Mas! =)

The video with example files change the database admin password automatically. If you load in one of their exercise databases, it automatically overwrites your own password with the password lynda.

Thank you for response =)
Is there some way to get to know this password?
I tried "root" (they use it during installing joomla), I tried "admin", I tried "Lynda.", "lynda.", "lynda" and others, but I still can't login.

I suspect your username is admin and the password is lynda
