Resetting the Admin Password in TOOLS

TOOLS Admin Password

  Q:   I have forgotten the TOOLS admin password (or got locked out somehow) ... can I reset it 

  A:   Solution: To reset the admin password to its default of 'password':

> Method A – only possible if you have access to the MySQL database:

Go into the MySQL database table ‘t_admin’ and change the admin password to ‘password’ (or any other password of fewer than 10 characters … it has to be fewer than 10 in order for the encrypter to realise that what you have entered is plain-text, and therefore it needs to encrypt it again when admin next logs-in).

> Method B – possible even if you don’t have access to the MySQL database itself:

1) Upload the file 'delete-me-after.php' into your TOOLS installation  (** If you don't have a copy of this file, please ask us for it)

2) In your browser, type:
      https://www.timetabler.com/myschooltoolssite/delete-me-after.php?secret=secret
      … but with your school's URL, of course.

3) Delete the file 'delete-me-after.php' from your TOOLS installation.

… after either method, 'admin' should now just be able to login again, as admin/password.   But any problems; let us know.
