1) I tried with the user & password entered, no luck
2) I checked the user was correct in modx_users table, no luck
3) I set new password by doing an UPDATE modx_users SET PASSWORD=PASSWORD("newpass") where username=’admin’; no luck
4) I tried to add a new user with password to the table. No luck
(I now see a hashed password for the admin-user, but a clear-text one for the new user, neither of them can log in)
Giving up.
My environment:
Kernel version 2.6.28.9
Machine Type i686
Apache version 2.2.14
PHP version 5.2.11
MySQL version 5.1.30

If that doesn’t work, your best bet is a fresh install. Is it possible that you’re trying to use the database user’s password rather than the MODx admin password set during the install to log in?
