X-Cart version 4.0 - password reset via phpmyadmin

Question

We are hosting a site based on X-Cart version 4.0 and we need to log into the /admin area. The e-mail password reset option does not work. The e-mail comes through but the password in the e-mail does not work.

Does anyone know how I can reset the password via phpmyadmin?

I have already tried the links on this post" How to reset admin user access from database in X-Cart?

Many thanks

Answer 1

1. Make sure there are 'P' or 'A' active usertypes in the xcart_customers table insert them if not

2. Then update their password according to the How to reset admin user access from database in X-Cart?

3. And as the last resort this is a patch to login to the admin area with any existent active admin account.

Restore the original file! one after successfull login
