This has probably been asked before but I cannot find the answer. I cannot login because I have forgotten my password, and the password recovery does not send emails.
How can I recover my password? Can I unencrypt the password in the database ? Help !

I am almost certain you cannot "recover" a PGV password.
If you can access your server, you could replace the configuration file.
You don't say what version, when you last backed up, etc., but a new install could work.

Charlie: Do you have any access to some database tools? Such as PhpMyAdmin? If you have, you could just copy/past this text into your password for your account

This is the encrypted password for "pgvpass". I have no other ideas how to reset your passwd.

Well, I thought that would work, but no soap…….. How about I create a new installation, backup my present database, edit out my admin user and merge with the new installation with a different admin ???
I don't have time now, but later today I will try that….
I really appreciate the help you guys ( and gals?) are giving…..

Doing this suggests you have access to the database - and if you do, then simply updating the password would be much easier.

Okay, guys…and gals ?…..I solved it, with your help, of course. I reinstalled, opened the new db, copied the encrypted password from there….and pasted it into the old db…..works like a charm…. Now I have the user name and password in a zipped text file on my server…..under a non-conspicuous file name…..
Again, thanks for the help…..and the ideas which got me there….

You could probably insert a new password into the DB with the right encryption function. I'm not sure which one to use, but something **like**
update <table>
set pwfield = MD5('new-password')
where userfield = userID
There are 2 ways to

That sounds great, imsza, but I do not have that access to my site, I am on a shared server……
I have tried putting the values for email in config.php but that only brings more errors….
Any other ideas ?

> non-conspicuous file name
If you can get to it via http, so can someone else. And there are people trying. Is your index directory outside of web-space? If so, put it there.
DUD ! I should have thought of that, wil do, thanks for the suggestion…..
