This may happen in case your hosting has changed the version of their MySQL server; the older versions use OLD_PASSWORD() function for keeping passwords, and newest versions (> v. 4.1) use PASSWORD() function. Please refer to the following articles: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/encryption-functions.html#function_old-password http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/encryption-functions.html#function_password You can enter your PHPmyAdmin console and run the following command to change admin's login and password (or ask your server administrator to do this): UPDATE `administrator` SET `username` = 'a_desired_login', `password`=PASSWORD('a_desired_password'); | |
