I am running a Drupal 7 site in live server. While set up on my local system, I can't use my username & password (It's not working). I can't even change my admin password. Could anyone please give a solution?
Note: When it is set up on a different server it works without any problems.
Here is a link on how to reset drupal passwords.

I have created a new Joomla database (different from the main database of the website but that will be having its I/O from the same website nonetheless) and added a user to it. It seems that the database password was generated automatically and now Fabrik is asking me to confirm the database password but I can't find it in the configuration.php file (presumably because it is new) or anywhere else. Is there anything I am missing? Where can I find that password or change it?
The only location in joomla where you will find the database password is in the configuration file assigned to the $password variable.
If it is not there then you will need to look in the backend (cpanel?) where you will be able to set a new one.
I've been tasked with maintaining a DNN site that has been running for a while, so I copied it to my local development environment to get up to speed on the setup. I have the site up and running locally, and I can browse all (I think) of the pages. It seems to display correctly and yesterday, the DNN login worked correctly. However, today, when I try to login to manage changes, I enter my username and password on the login page, but it does not actually log in. On screen, all that seems to happen is that the password field clears. No error message displays. In my Firebug console, the only error message that appears is "Password fields present in a form with an insecure (http://) form action. This is a security risk that allows user login credentials to be stolen." Again, yesterday, I was able to log in and get to all of the DNN management features -- I changed skins, modified CSS, changed code, etc. I've tried multiple logins (host, superuser, and regular user) -- all have the same result.
I don't see anything in the database EventLog, except for a startup record.
I saw a couple of other SO posts tangentially related to failed DNN logins on development environment, and checked that Form Authentication is Enabled in IIS and the security for the site folders are set correctly and the folder is not read-only.
I generally use Firefox for development, but I also tried IE. I'm certain I'm missing sometime obvious, but it has me stumped. Ideas? I'm new to DNN, so I'm not up to speed yet on the best practices for debugging. Any other suggestions would be welcome.
Some details: Live site is SQL Server 2008; Dev is SQL Server 2012. Both sites use IIS 7. Dev is DNN 7.2.2. Locally, I'm using VS 2010 for development.
Couple of things to check.
1) Check to make sure your database connection strings (2 of them) in the web.config are both pointing to your local database.
2) Check to make sure the MachineKey values in the web.config still match the values in the production web.config
3) You might turn off SSL on the site, though you'll have to do that in the database as you can't get logged in. I believe you can likely just set Secure to 0 on all of the Tabs table records, but you might need to track down a HOST setting as well to make this work (hostsettings table)
An update. I was able to get this to work by using a different user account. I'm still not sure what the root of the problem was, but I believe it was related to specific settings on my particular user account. I used a generic 'admin' account, and was able to make it work.
Im experiencing the same issue, I think its something to do with the the .dotnetnuke cookie
i need to import all users from a dnn 4 site to dnn 5 site.i have already imported all tables.but in membership table the password encryption is different for dnn4 and dnn5.
i have register the same user in both sites.and the password and passwordsalt are different in version 4 and 5.so while import users from dnn 4 to 5,i cannot login to the new site.
How to decrypt the old password and encrypt the same for new one?
checking for machine key value in web.config and matching them may solve the problem
Between 4 and 6 (really between any installs) one of the best things is to have one of the user manager tools that allows you to export users with password and import them into another portal or install.
As an alternative -
make a copy of the dnn 4 site
upgrade the dnn 4 site to dnn 6 (or whatever version you like)
now copy the machine key etc over to other site and copy in users
Something like the alternative is not really clean and prone to problems (especially if the portal already has users - like the host)
I've set up LDAP authentication using pam_ldap on a server and it seemed to be working just fine to begin with, but now I have a problem. Whenever a user changes his password in Active directory, it syncs just fine with LDAP and therefor every system that uses LDAP authentication, except this server which still accepts the old password.
I've tried "getent passwd" and it does list every user in LDAP, and I also tried adding a new user in LDAP, which my server immediately recognized when I try "getent passwd" again.
So apparently my server is commmunicating with LDAP, just not when it comes to new passwords, those the server chooses to cache somewhere.
Google hasn't been helpful at all and some people seem to have had similar problems but their questions always go unanswered.
Hope someone can help.
You may have nscd installed. Check /etc/nscd.conf and lower the TTL.
Is there any way that I can put a checkbox of Remeber password in my winform as I have no tables for username and password.I am checking for the username and password directly in the server...
Answer please if am clear with my question.
Most simplest way to do that would be to store the provided password in the Application or User Settings. You may want to use some kind of encryption so that it is not stored as plain text.
I think you need to use the Windows Credentials Manager API
When you start you WinForms application you will get Windows Credential Manager dialog. You will also have Remember Password option on it. When you enter your credentials they will be safely stored with Windows.
