I forgot my admin password on my local MODX Revolution 2.1.3-pl (traditional) installation.
I followed the different hints how to unblock / reset the login on the database (mainly by change the MD5 password with a new one in the table (prefix)_manager_users. But: this table does not exist.

Can anyone post a solution how to reset / unblock the admin account?

Thank you very much for your help.

I had to repair my modx_session table first.

I tried everything in all of this documentation and it worked most likely, but I was still unable to login from my /manager/ Login form.

I then noticed that my last login timestamp was changing in modx_users and failed logins was not incrementing. To me that meant my user name and password were working. I then checked to see if I was locked out in the modx_user_attributes table. I was not.

Baffled for hours, reading the internet, found nothing. So I tried to query my modx_sessions table from MySQL and that told me the table was marked as crashed.

Probably should check / repair your database tables before doing the above, if you know your password shouldn't be changed.

LOL. Thanks (just my 2 cents)

If you changed the actual database user password in cPanel (rather than the MODX Manager password), you've definitely locked yourself out.

<![CDATA[Re: resetting password on database]]> https://forums.modx.com/thread/70058/resetting-password-on-database#dis-post-393582 Now I think it could be that I played around with the access rights in the backend.
Could it be that I removed some access rights so it is not possible to login again?

Is it possible in the backend as admin to mess up the accessrights that the (missing) credentials won't let me login again?

@opengeek: the instructions on the rtmf-page is clear and helpful. No changes / additions needed.

Thanks!]]>
