I've made all steps of the configuration without a problem and after it I could'nt login as the admin - I'm sure I typed the good one because I've look in the config.php for it.
Everything seems to be fine.....but.....

Any ideas...?

$gallery->setConfig('setup.password', 'something');
Try it.

I think that G2 automatically installed itself in Polish for you, probably because your browser was set to use pl_PL as the default language. One of the things that we're playing with right now is having it translate the "admin" username for you. I don't know if this is a good idea or a bad one (anybody have an opinion here?). It's certainly not documented at all! We should fix that.

At any rate, I looked in the Polish translation file and our Polish translator (the esteemed Robert d`Aystetten) has translated "admin" to be "adminstrator". So try logging in as "administrator". I tried it, but it didn't work with the "something" password -- maybe that's no longer correct?

If that doesn't work, you can look up the username by executing this SQL:
select g_userName from g2_User where g_id=5;

I would strongly suggest that "admin" always be admin. I dont think other language distro's alter "root" to be something else (like the word for a trees root in some other language?).

Its a neat/cute idea, but would probably cause more confusion than it would resolve. Also, could "adminstrator" simply be a typo and missing the "i"?

Ok, I committed a fix to stop translating the admin username.

poper, did you try the sql command listed above to find the username? Check your config.php file for the admin password you entered at install time; if you did not change the password later for your admin user then it should still be the right password.

Or get the latest nightly snapshot and reinstall from scratch using it, since I removed the code that translates the "admin" username.
