You set the username and password up when you install e107. You best bet is that you miss typed it when installing or are miss typing it now.

e107 makes this particularly fiddly to do, just to teach you a lesson! Obviously for security reasons it's safer to not allow you to reset the password unless you're already logged in, so you'll need to use phpMyAdmin to do it.

open up phpMyAdmin, and select your e107 database, and the user table
click on browse to see the records in the user table - the main site admin should be user_id number 1
the fourth field along is called user_password and should contain a 32 character string - this is your password in encrypted format
click to edit your entry in the user_table
in the user_password box, enter this text ... 5e9d11a14ad1c8dd77e98ef9b53fd1ba
... and click Save (or Go)

this is newpassword in an encrypted form, you should now be able to log into your site with your username and newpassword as your password
as soon as you're logged in, go to admin -> admin password and change your password - do it right now You can change your main admin username using the same method as above, just edit the user_name field instead of the user_password one.

I have the same problem where I can not log into the admin area.

I have gone into the myphpadmin as suggested but I still can not log in.

I had to use user_loginname which was not what I had as my datum for the login name.

I had the same problem many thanks for the fix!! However when I changed my Admin password I can no longer log into the site.

So going to re-install

ive found that it uses your email address you put in when you installed from the cpanle as your user name
