      You should be able to get the username and email address from the database using phpMyAdmin or whatever database access your server provides.

          By default MODx gives you "admin" as an administrator username.
          phpMyAdmin lets you modify user/pass values directly form MODx database table, Decode the MD5 values to get the pass you have forgot! or replace with the desired MD5 pass straight to database.

            MD5 is a one-way hash; it cannot be decoded. Just edit the password field, give it a new password, and specify the "MD5" function.

              Thanks Susan!, Thats reasonable!, have used it once so guess that would do the same somehow in opposite way.

                Hi

                I have the same problem that no users were created under the installation process.
                I went to phpMyAdmin as you suggested, and I found no users at all...

                So I created my own in the table "manager_users".
                I wrote a username and a password (chose md5 as you said).

                But it still will not work...

                Any suggestions?

                  If your installation didin’t create a default admin user, you may have more problems that this. However...

                  Check user_roles, if there isn’t one make one:
                  INSERT INTO `modx_user_roles` VALUES (1, 'Administrator', 'Site administrators have full access to all functions', 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1);


                  You also need an entry in user_settings to establish your user’s role and other settings:
                  INSERT INTO `modx_user_attributes` VALUES (1, 1, 'Default admin account', 1, '[email protected]', '', '', 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, '', 0, 0, '', '', '', '', '', '');
