Lost the password of the blog how to retrieve it now?.
open you ftp and find file named users.xml The passwords in the users.xml file are hashed/encrypted.. If you clear out the password value, so it becomes:
<Users>
<User>
<UserName>Admin</UserName>
<Password></Password>
<Email>post@example.com</Email>
<LastLoginTime>2009-03-05 20:46:40</LastLoginTime>
</User>
</Users>
I then made a small change to the web.config file (added a space), and I could then log in under Admin for the username and admin for the password.
Then restart the blog (uploading the web.config over itself would restart the blog). You should then be able to log into the blog using the default “admin” password.
You’re not storing any user data in a database, right? If user data is being stored in a DB, check the be_Users table.
It works for me, by the way. I cleared out the <password> value for my Admin account.
