Can't remember login/password in Admin

[wkheathjr]

My MacBook died 2 days before my motorcycle trip and I have been on the road for 7 weeks now. I'm using iPad now and of course my userid/password wasn't stored on iPad so I need to find a way to access these info on cpanel at my webhost? If I can find my admin userid then I am pretty sure I can login with the password I usually use.

FYI, I tried using mailer to email me the login info but it did not work so that is why I am on here seeking assistance. I have no other way because iPad function is really limited compared to MacBook. Feel free to PM me on here if security issue could be a concern discussing it further on the public forum.

You can find your details by opening /bl-content/databases/users.php in a text editor.

Your username will most likely be admin

Anaggh,

Many thanks! admin was the userid and I had access so all good.

Speaking of mailer, any way to make it work?

Just in case the password is lost (and "Email access code" does not work):

1. Open the file /bl-content/databases/users.php.
2. Choose a random word for the "salt" and convert it to the SH1 hash (for example with the generator at [deleted]).
3. Enter the string of the SH1 hash in the field "salt" of the file users.php.
4. Choose a password, and add the "salt" at the end (with the above mentioned SH1 Generator Online enter the password in the form, enable "Add a salt", choose the option "after this string", and generate the SH1 hash).
5. Enter the SH1 hash in the field "password" of the file users.php.

Have you already checked your spam?

You can test, if the PHP mail function works as described here:

Password was not lost. Email was never sent because I got the error message, unable to send email when I tried to retrieve userid/password.

Have you tested the PHP mail function as described in the link above?

Just in case the password is lost (and "Email access code" does not work):

1. Choose a random word for the "salt" and convert it to the SH1 hash (for example with the generator at http://online-code-generator.com/sha1-h ... l-salt.php).

You should probably fix this link as it now points to some sketchy site that displays porn

Thank you for the hint. Seems that the website is hacked or no longer used.
