I have not used LAMS for a year. It has changed substantially and does not recognise my login or user name any more. When I request assistance - it will accept emails. The only message I can get says to go to system support, but I cannot do this without loging in!

Hi Alison,

I assume this is a server you have installed, right? If so, is this in Windows or in Linux? If this is in Linux, I think you will be able to get the details from the file /etc/lams2/lams.properties. If in Windows, I think these details might be in the windows register. Luke, is this the case?

If this is on one of our demo servers, please let us know which one.

Thanks,

Ernie

Yes for linux, no for windows.

in Linux, the /etc/lams2/lams.properties file should have something like:

LAMS_USER=sysadmin
LAMS_PASS=password

But in windows, the sysadmin password is not stored in the registry. The only way I can think of of getting into lams without re-installing is by manually changing the password in the datbase.

You would have to run the following command on your lams database:

update lams_user set password=sha1("your password") where login="sysadmin";

then restart the server.
