Hi

said "...please check login data"

enter the config.php, i saw admin data base and password. still the same as before i couldn't login.

The values in the config.php file are those used by the application to access de DB, but not necesarily the ones you entered for Feng´s admin user.

If you can´t remember what you used when first installing feng you could try changing it directly in the DB, doing this:

- Backup you DB if you have valuable data in it!
- Access your DB using phpmyadmin or similar
- find the table where users and passwords are stored
- google for a common password´s hash, meaning you find that the hashes value for password "guest" is "BLABLABLABLA" (*)
- From your table, copy your current value to a txt file and save ot, then replace the original value in the table for the one you googled.
- Now, if everything went well, you have changed your password to "guest" and you will be able to log in and change it again -whithin Feng- for a better one.


(*) you will need to find out what hashing method Feng uses, which I dont know ATM.

Hope this helps.
boogie.
