I've been distracted for nearly two years and have not been working on my website. I just tried logging in to the admin site using the email address and password that I first set up, but got this message:
The email address and password you entered could not be validated. If you do not remember your password, use the 'Send Password' link to have your password sent to you via email.
Next, I tried using the "Send Password" link, but when I entered my email address I got this message:
The email address you entered could not be validated. You must enter a valid email address in order to receive your password via email.
No one else has access to the admin area. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for your help!

If you can access your files via ftp or Control Panel you should be able to see the correct login details in config.php

I can access my files, but there are two config.php files - one in the khxc directory, and another one in the khxc-private directory. I don't see the credentials in either file.

It could be a user issue, this post might be worth looking at.

If you hadn't used the credentials for 2 years they were likely purged. The thread Nigel posted a link to explains how to recreate things.

Dave,
The khxc_users table in the database is empty - how did that happen? What do I do now?

It happened because the credentials weren't used for more than a year. For reasons only Nick knows the inactive user purge also purges super user entries.
As explained in the linked thread simply create a user for yourself. All you need is the id column which is the e-mail address, the password column (using the MD5 hash function and the usergroup column which needs to be superuser

I guess I'm confused - I can't access the rows because it says the table is empty. How do I add a user? I have reread the linked post several times and couldn't find any mention of how to create a user if the table is empty. Sorry.

Is it the "Insert" tab I need to click on?

Okay - got it. Thanks, Dave! One more question - should I complete the profile for my account or leave it as is?

It doesn't really matter for a super user ID unless you're going to use it for testing too.
