Hi Merlifer

You should use your ftp program or through your control panel from your host in order to get to the file config.php
Here, you must open config.php with notepad or the edtor as your host has, in the top you will find this

Code: Select all

$ cf [ 'security'] [ 'password'] = "test"; 
$ cf [ 'security'] [ 'type'] = "page";


Where you now has y or something to stand, substitute with "test" and save the file

Now you can log on to your page, remember change it again to your choice :D

Hi Nils!

Download your config.php via ftp

Check the setting: " cf['security']['type']" and change it to "page"

Code: Select all

$cf['security']['type']="page";
Check or change your password. The default is

Code: Select all

$cf['security']['password']="test";
Upload config.php and try to login.

It's the option "wwwaut"
But be sure that your server fits the requirements :
