Hi
I am using piwigo and have forgotten my admin password for the gallery. Is there a way of retrieving it?

The procedure below explains how to connect as a webmaster if the account it does not work (bad settings, hacks of all kinds etc.).
Access to the database will be necessary.
Solution (for a gallery where registration is open to all):
1.
register on your gallery with a new nickname (temporarily);
2.
Now go into your database;
3.
Make a backup of your database;
4.
In the table _user_infos change the status of your account temporarily. ---> "webmaster";
5.
You can log into your account with your temporary gallery and access now to the part of directors;
6.
Change the password of your main account webmaster;
7.
Reconnect with it;
8.
and delete the temporary user.

3. trying to login with this new user but receiving invalid password error!
