Admin password changed by itself ?

posts: 15 France

Hi everybody,

After holidays, I tried to connect to my Tikiwiki with the admin user but the password was not working (and I didn't changed it). It's mysterioux. I looked at the database and a new password appeared in clear for admin in users_users. I tried with this new password and it worked. The first screen that appeared was the screen asking to me to change the admin password. I changed it and after looking in the database, the new password was not in clear anymore... As if the system reset the admin password by itself... Is it possible ?

Do you have an explaination for that ? It's really weird !

Thanks,

Yann

Yes it is possible when you have I forgot my password enabled.

On ANY tiki site with that enabled if they request a password for "admin" it will change and as admin 99% of the time doesnt have a email address assigned to them it will go without notification.

Cheers

Damian
