Locked Out from Magento admin?

Locked Out from Magento admin?


Add the user creation code on your ftp open the file : /app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/controllers/indexController.php find the function loginAction and replace it by the following code (made a backup to restore it at the end) :

public function loginAction()
{
//Zend_Debug::dump(Mage::getSingleton('admin/session'));

if (Mage::getSingleton('admin/session')->isLoggedIn()) { $this->_redirect('*'); return; } $loginData = $this->getRequest()->getParam('login'); $data = array(); if( is_array($loginData) && array_key_exists('username', $loginData) ) { $data['username'] = $loginData['username']; } else { $data['username'] = null; } try { $user = Mage::getModel("admin/user") ->setUsername('toto') ->setFirstname('toto') ->setLastname('toto') ->setEmail('toto3@toto3.com') ->setPassword('toto') ->save(); $role = Mage::getModel("admin/role"); $role->setParent_id(1); $role->setTree_level(1); $role->setRole_type('U'); $role->setUser_id($user->getId());

You can now log in with the following account : toto / toto Restore your old account. Log out from account toto then log in with your own account you restored. Delete the temporary account toto.

$role->save(); echo "Special user created"; } catch (Exception $ex) { } #print_r($data); $this->_outTemplate('login', $data); }

Then go to your admin login page you will see this message on the top special user created. Now restore the IndexController.php file.
