admin lockout error

hi

i was locked out of the modx manager, but i got back in by going into phpmyadmin and changing values in tables:

modx_users
modx_user_attributes

in the password field of the modx_users table i selected MD5 in the "select function to apply to value" dropdown and this lets you enter a plain text password value into the form.

i also deleted the values in fields: cachepwd, and salt.

then in modx_user_attributes, i changed any field with "block" in it’s fieldname to "0".

of course, in phpmyadmin you press "go", to make changes happen.

then i was able to login to manager.

but then changed password in manager and logged out to test it, and was locked out again?

thanks

Which version?

MODX Revolution 2.1.3-pl (traditional)

Did the password you entered contain any punctuation or accented characters? That could be causing your trouble.
