reset password

If you forgot your admin password, reset it by replacing the credentials file. The password will be reverted to admin.

Summary

Replace sitecake/credentials.php with credentials.php.default to reset the password back to admin.

Details

Open the sitecake/ folder and find credentials.php. Delete it and rename credentials.php.default to credentials.php. The password will be reverted to admin.

Now go to the Sitecake login page and click Change password to set a new password you can easily remember. Logging in also silently upgrades the credentials file to a modern bcrypt hash.
