Hi
I lost the password to the manager, how to change the password, and when requesting a password change, the email cannot be sent
Is there a way to change the password from the database
The best way is to create a new user and set it to admin. Then, log in as that new admin and change the other admin password. Backup your database before doing it though.
https://www.socialengine.com/support/article/5112065/se-php-manually-reset-an-admin-password I would only try option 1 of that tutorial as I am not sure if option 2 works now.
Hei Cumds..
I have lost my admin password 2 times in the past.
I will pass on this bit of useful info.
When you get your first admin password ALWAYS create a second super admin with a password.. This way if you lose one, you know you have a second as backup.
I keep a USB with all my backup passwords and other login details.
hope you find this helpful tip useful.
goodluck

Great tip. I also always have a backup admin user on all of my sites. Learned the hard way long ago, like you did.
