I cannot change the admin password

[StoffelXYZ]

Hello,

After the installation on MAMP Pro (like Xamp but on a Mac) as well on my real domain I'm trying to change the admin password.

Problem: When I clicked the edit button, filled the actual password, confirmed it ... it says:

"All fields are required. Click save to submit." But there is only a "back" button and no "save" button.

I tried a workaround bij adding a new top administrator but I don't receive an email with the password...

EDIT: On my domain, I have the same problem. I get a mail when I create a new admin but it just says password --hidden--

And I cannot delete an administrator ...

I don't think adding a self-chosen password to the database is that easy ..

Does someone have a soltution, please? I'm getting a little bit desperate.

Thanks in advance.

Grtz,

Stoffel

Never had this problem. Is it an unmodified osCMax install?

Also, more debug info would be nice... web server, php/mysql version, any mods that you have added, etc

Hello,

1. I already had it after a clean install, before installing any mods, add-ons,... I just had to change some settings during installation because of the register globals off -error.

2. Webhost: One.com Web hosting - Domain • Hosting • E-mail Dindn't have any problem during testing oscommerce, works fine with Joomla,...

3. Webserver: Apache

4. Database: Mysql version 5.0.32

5. PHP version: 5

Unable to edit admin passwords

Add new admin and he got "Password : -hidden-" ?? Why is that ?

OSCMAX looks promissing but I already spent a couple of hours because of this bug

So, you added the 'register globals' mod, and/or have register globals off?

That is the problem. There is an issue with the admin/access levels mod version when using the register globals mod. You will need to update it to make it compatible with register_globals off:

Michael,

Thanks for the reply!

I used the "Register Globals Easy" contribution.

I will try to implement the contribution you just suggested.

Best regards,
