Advanced Guestbook - Logged in as admin, but not quite.....

Ok, wanted to do some admin to my guestbook and logged in - no problem. Now as soon as I go to click any of the tabs for example 'Easy admin' it takes me back to the log in screen with the message above saying 'Before you can proceed you have to enter a valid name and password!' so I log in again and it does it again.....and again......and again......

Has anyone come across this problem? does anyone know how to solve it?
Your help would be much appreciated here.

did you upgrade your guestbook or something?

If not, then you will have to delete the password in the database and leave it blank, then go into the admin and change it.

how do I delete the password and put in a new one?

just tried it, keeps flicking me back to the login page.

I dont really want to lose me guestbook, lots of nice comments in them, can anyone help me regain control of admin on my guestbook please.

Thank you thank you thank you,

I have the same problem. Anyone find a solution for this?

Hi. I am having the same problem...it will not let me into my admin portal. No matter what I do...nothing! If you can help...email me. Admin@maketoast.com

Well here is a new How-To.
You will need PHPadmin for this.

[Method 1]
Select the Guestbook database.
Select book_auth.
Now choose Browse.
You now see the admin username and password.
Select edit.
Now paste Code:
Code:
773359240eb9a1d9

in the password field and click “GO”.

This will reset your account to:

Your admin name and the password will be: 123

Or do it like this.

[Method 2]
Select the Guestbook database
Now choose on the right side of screen select SQL
Now insert in the Data Entry Field the following lines:

Code:
Code:
delete from book_auth;
INSERT INTO book_auth VALUES (1, 'test', '773359240eb9a1d9', '7d8b85294e2e060b83f596a4fc5561ce', 1058460506);

And click "GO"

This will reset your account to:

User name: test
Password: 123

Doesn't work for me, Ive tried both 'solutions' and deleted cookies and temp files.
I can get in, but when I press on a link (like general settings), Its going back to the login window

Please can anybody help me???

Thnx, Sjon

Overwrite the v2.3.1 session.class.php file with the 2.2 version. Worked fine for me!

I run the 2.2 version, and the admin username and password I set won't even let me get as far as these others have (I can't get in at all). It just keeps telling me the information's wrong, and I KNOW it isn't. I've tried some of the "fixes" here (other than the last one as I already run 2.2), to no avail. This seems to be a problem for quite a few people, some sort of solution that works would be appreciated.

I cant remember my username and password for the admin for the guestbook. Where would I go to change it or set up a new name and password?

I have this problem with the guestbook autoinstall in Cpanel.
It seems to get in a kind of loop with login the admin.

So the problem is not forgotten or wrong passwords.
The password and user is oke but everytime you want to preform a action in the admin i get redirected to the login page.
It seems to be a cookie problem.

Any body know a solution for this ??

Anybody has a fix for this?

Well add another to the list that this has happened to. Was working fine and now when I log into the admin panel and click something it takes me back to the login screen. I have tried the suggestions here but they did not work. I hope someone has a good idea soon.
