Forgotten Passwords

In the event you forget your password, gpEasy comes with a method to restore access.

Standard Recovery

To regain access to your installation, go to the login page and attempt to log in. After a failed log in attempt, click the link in the prompt asking if you have forgotten your password. The following page will allow you to email a new password to yourself. Note: the new password will not be activated until you use it.

Without Email

In case you...

• haven't entered an email address
• don't have an email address
• or any other reason

there is another way to get back into your installation.

1) Locate Files

Find and open these two files: [YOUR_INSTALLATION]/data/_site/users.php and [YOUR_INSTALLATION]/data/_site/config.php

2) Determine your hash method

Find the line in your config.php file that either reads $config['shahash'] = true; or $config['shahash'] = false;. If your line has true in it, you'll be using the sha1 hash. If your line has false in it, you'll be using the md5 hash.

3) Generate a New Password.

You can generate a new password online (sha1 generator or md5 generator). Just submit your new password into the text area on the appropriate site and it will output an encrypted string.

4) Save the Hash

Now, locate the line in your users.php file that corresponds to your username's password value (something like $users['username']['password'] = '123b1ca2abc0fa66e7gdf7f176eaty33d2fc28dab5f3';). Now all you have to do is replace your new hash with the old one.

Just in Case

• Don't forget to leave the quotation marks around the hash and the semicolon (;) after the last quotation mark.
• There shouldn't be any spaces in between the quotation marks.
