Unable to login after Update from 2.08 to 2.1

Hi!
I upgraded to modx 2.1 yesterday and unfortunately forgot my password... .
I tried to reset the password with the forgot password link on the login page and this sent me an activation link and i could rest my password but i couldnt log in with this password.
Next step was to try to set the password manually in the phpmyadmin users table. I tried md5, old_password password and even installed modx 2_1 localy on my xampp, created a new login for admin copied and pasted the values für password, salt and hash_class but still cannot log in.

Could anyone help me please? Would be great! And sorry for the noob question...

The last thing you tried should work (assuming that you didn’t accidentally paste any leading or trailing spaces). Try deleting all the files in the core/cache directory and clearing your browser cache and cookies.

thanks for the reply - i rechecked again - there are no trailing spaces or whatnot - deleted browser cache and deleted core/cache but still am not able to login. args..

Update: There must be something totally messed up with the login system. I found another user and with this one i didn’t change the password and could recover it using a md5 cracker. But unfortunately i cannot log in with this user and the password either. Anyone has any idea what i can do to fix this?

Update2: If i use the reset passwort link the new (not working) password is stored as plain text in the database. Maybe this can help to solve the problem?

Update 3; okay - it must have something to do with the "salted password" thing in 2.1 -
found this but still don’t get it:

okay - i downgraded to 2.08 again (very sad) ... now it’s working again...

Please READ UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS:

- logout before updating.
- erase our cookies for that domain.
- should run then.

If you don’t erase your cookies (login-status) you won’t be able to login after upgrading to 2.1 which has to do with new salting method

You may also run into trouble if the password contains any punctuation marks.

okay! thank you very much for the hints! I actually didn’t delete the cookies and it was driving me crazy yesterday...

I will try it later again and let you know if it had worked!

still no luck! Now i’m pissed... i did everything correct, deleted cache and cookies and still am not able to login to the backend! can anyone help me on this issue? These salted passwords are a great improvement in security when no one is able to login anymore...
Would be great if someone could help me create a new admin account - maybe with phpmyadmin - please help me - im a little bit despreate now...

Same problem for me.
Can’t login after upgrade to 2.1

very dirty hack (but working):

use the old
/core/model/modx/processors/security/login.php (from modx 2.08)
and put your md5 Password in the password field AND the hash_class field in the table users in phpmyadmin.
I know - this is a very dirty hack but for the moment this is working for me...

Hope anyone comes up with another and better fix for this.


then when i am loged in i can create a new user - but this users passord is then in plain text in the database - and of course i cannot log in with the username and password - first have to encode it to md5 manually.... very strange behaviour of modx though...
