Hi, I want to reset the admin password to "password" by below command:

UPDATE cscart_users SET password='5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99' WHERE user_id='1';

But it looks like still can not login, anyone know what's the problem ? Thank you very much !

Try to set value of the 'salt' column to empty string as well

Why not just use the 'lost password' link which will let you reset?

Where did you put this string at? I am having the same issue, can't log in to admin, and password change in cpanel I can't get right. Thanks.

$config[‘https_host’] = ‘www.yourdomain.com’;

Now password that you enter on cs-cart instalation works, and work resetting password to
