I've lost my admin password. Is there any way to restore it?

Hey hey.

I'm sorry, currently there are no way to do it in the script.

You can change it "by hand" so to speak; You can change the file called data/config/config
Look for the place in the file where it says: s:8:"password";s:32:"......" (The .... is a 32 char
long text with random numbers and letters. Change these 32 letters to this: 6e7aebbea705d7ff421b3ee83d5bb7a4
and your login is now admin:admin
I recommend a backup of the file before you start messing with it :)
Don't add any spaces to the file or anything else, just the 32 letters.

Hi I've tried your technique but to no avail :( Is there a way to reinstall while keeping the old links?

Hey cgf.

Sure, just overwrite the index.php with the newest release. Your links will stay :)
