Ever locked yourself out?
19 August 2009 at 4:05am
I did and I thought I'd throw up my solutions for some further search options. This assumes you have access to your webserver to use some PHP code.
Option 1 - Set a Global Login
From: http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=security#system_configurationIn your _config.php
Security::setDefaultAdmin($username, $password)
Option 2 - Use the Environment Configuration file
From: http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=environment-managementAt the top level of your site folder create _ss_environment.php
define('SS_DEFAULT_ADMIN_USERNAME', 'username');
define('SS_DEFAULT_ADMIN_PASSWORD', 'password');Option 3 - Using a Member DataObject
In some page controller, config, or any interpreted php file:$m = DataObject::get_one('Member', "Email = 'your@email.com'");
$m->changePassword('newpass');All of these can get the job done. If you were thinking about trashing around the database and changing the hashes yourself I would recommend against it. SilverStripe uses salted SHA1 encryption which is no fun to try and create yourself just to overwrite in multiple tables.

Hi Dalesaurus. That'll be very useful to users. Are you aware of http://ssbits.com/ ? Might be a good place to put your mini tutorial.

Very useful, thanks - I needed it just now. The strange thing was that Silverstripe no longer recognised my existing password as valid - I was not entering the wrong one. I wonder whether I accidentally changed it while installing another Silverstripe app on the same server (even though I didn't use the 'SS_mysite' database, I specified another).
